What Does Lead Poisoning Do to Your Brain

Lead is a highly poisonous element that can cause a variety of health problems, particularly in the brain. It interferes with the communication between brain cells and weakens the connections between neurons. This is especially dangerous in children, whose rapidly growing brains are more susceptible to damage. However, scientists have recently discovered that by adding a BDNF substitute, which strengthens the connections between neurons, it may be possible to treat the effects of lead poisoning. While this research is still in its early stages and prevention should remain a priority, it offers hope for a future where lead poisoning is more treatable.
