Feb 13, 2024 · A new study by scientists at Brown University reveals the mechanisms by which Agent Orange affects the brain and how those processes can lead to neurodegenerative diseases. The research shows that exposures to Agent Orange herbicidal chemicals damage frontal lobe brain tissue of laboratory rats with molecular and biochemical abnormalities that are similar to those found in early-stage ...

Nov 15, 2018 · This chapter considers the possible effects of toxic exposure to the herbicides used during the Vietnam War and specific clinical conditions associated with the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), primarily brain dysfunctions. The COIs are 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T), picloram (4-amino-3,5,6 ...

Jan 26, 2021 · "It's possible that Agent Orange stayed in the fat tissue and is slowly being released and causing toxic effects on the brain. But we also know that Agent Orange increases the risk of other ...
May 20, 2024 · Research has revealed associations between Agent Orange exposures and later development of neurodegenerative diseases, and significantly higher rates and earlier onsets of dementia. However, in the absence of a proved causal link, there has been a need for studies that improve understanding of the process by which the herbicide affects the brain.

Jan 25, 2021 · Although evidence of an association between Agent Orange exposure and dementia was considered insufficient, dementia is a growing concern among veterans (a 20% increase by 2033), with military-relevant conditions found to be particularly salient risk factors (eg, posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD], traumatic brain injury). 3,4,5,6 The goal of this study was to examine the association between ...
