          Exposure to World Trade Center Dust Exacerbates Cognitive Impairment in an Animal Model of Alzheimer’s

          Mice exposed to dust from the WTC showed impairments in both long and short-term memory, and spatial recognition, as well as alterations to genes associated with immune-inflammatory response and blood-brain barrier dysfunction. Findings suggest first responders who were exposed to dust from the WTC experience a peripheral-brain immune inflammatory response that leads to cognitive decline.

          How DDT Exposure Contributes to Alzheimer’s Disease Risk

          DDT exposure causes sodium channels to remain open, leading to increased neural firing and an increased release of amyloid beta peptide. Blocking the channels with tetrodotoxin reduces the toxic amyloid protein by increasing the production of the amyloid precursor protein.
