Common pesticide linked to hidden brain damage, scientists warn

A recent study has identified a concerning connection between prenatal exposure to chlorpyrifos (CPF), a common insecticide, and lasting changes in brain structure as well as reduced motor function in children and adolescents. These findings, published in the journal JAMA Neurology, offer the first evidence of widespread, enduring impacts on the brain's molecular, cellular, and metabolic processes resulting from early exposure to the chemical.
