Our environment is polluted with plastic waste, wherein the degradation leads to the formation of micro and nanoplastics (NPs). These plastic particles contaminate water, soil, air, and food, exposing humans throughout their lives. Although NPs are detected in the human body, such as in blood, feces, and placenta, their potential impact on human health remains poorly understood. Moreover, the developing brains of fetuses and children may be sensitive to these molecules, potentially leading to functional impairments and altered behavior. Our study investigates the impact of chronic, low-dose ex
