Evidence of Alzheimer’s-Like Disease Found in Stranded Dolphins
TL;DR Summary
A study of stranded dolphins in Florida found signs of Alzheimer's-like brain damage linked to exposure to toxins from algal blooms, which are increasing due to climate change. The research suggests that these toxins may impair navigation and memory in dolphins and could pose risks to other marine life and humans, highlighting the broader impact of environmental toxins on neurodegenerative diseases.
