Could insecticide affect emotion and other brain fxn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Insecticides or pesticides are neurotoxins. They gravitate to the brain and affect its functions. Pesticides seek out lipids, and the brain is highly lipid with a high density of acetylcholinesterase -- the target enzyme of pesticides. http://tinyurl.com/kzh4c7e.
