During HAB seasons, dolphin brains were found to contain 2,900 times more 2,4-diaminobutyric acid (2,4-DAB) or DABA – a sneaky neurotoxin made by cyanobacteria, diatoms, and dinoflagellates – than in ...

Algal bloom triggered by sewage discharges could be causing in dolphins the same form of brain degeneration seen in humans with Alzheimer’s disease, scientists warned in a new study. Scientists found ...

Scientists in Jackson may be on their way to finding the cure to Alzheimer's. Researchers at Brain Chemistry Labs have been studying dolphin brains. They are doing this as part of their quest to cure ...

Dolphins washing up on Florida’s shores may be victims of the same kind of brain degeneration seen in humans with Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers discovered that cyanobacterial toxins—worsened by ...

A new study found signs similar to Alzheimer's disease in the brains of dolphins in Florida's Indian River Lagoon. Researchers link these brain changes to neurotoxins from harmful algal blooms, which ...

Dolphins living in the Indian River Lagoon faced Alzheimer’s-like changes to their brains during harmful algal bloom season, according to a recently released 10-year study. The alterations in the ...

A new study links a neurotoxin found in harmful algal blooms in the Indian River Lagoon to brain changes in dolphins there similar to Alzheimer's disease in humans. "The key takeaway is that it's just ...

A new study found dolphins in Florida's Indian River Lagoon have brain changes similar to those seen in human Alzheimer's disease. Scientists consider dolphins a sentinel species, meaning their health ...
