Originally published in the Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, this review by Dr. Mojtaba Ehsanifar, Akram Gholami, and Joseph P. Reiss reveals how hidden fungal toxins can impact the brain.

The authors highlight how early-life exposure may contribute to developmental disorders such as ADHD, autism, and cognitive decline.
