    No offenses, but I’m gonna put a lot more weight behind a peer reviewed Nature paper, rather than some random podcaster.

    The explained their methodology pretty well. They extrapolate the microplastics amount from a small bit of cortical tissue, and compared it to previous results. Yeah there might not be as much in other parts of the brain, but we don’t have a reason to think it would be drastically different.
