BPA may Adversely Affect Development of Embryonic Brain

Yet another study has linked the chemical bisphenol-A with adverse health problems.

Yet another study has linked the chemical bisphenol-A with adverse health problems after a new study conducted by researchers at Duke University Medical Centre in North Carolina found that it could affect the development of embryonic brain.

The researchers exposed a group of pregnant mice to BPA and then studied how it affected the neurons and the brain development of the offspring. The researchers found that BPA suppressed a gene that it critical to nerve cell functioning and the central nervous system though the researchers were quick to add that the amount of BPA that the mice consumed was not at normal consumption rates. The study has been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Brain Exercises to Improve Memory
An active brain can certainly help in improving memory by strengthening the connections between neural impulses in brain.

“Our study found that BPA may impair the development of the central nervous system. [It] raises the question as to whether exposure could predispose animals and humans to neurodevelopmental disorders”, lead researcher Wolfgang Liedtke said.
