Climate Change Is Affecting Brain Health, Study Finds

Conditions like dementia, epilepsy and depression could spread and worsen in severity as the world heats up.

In a study released Wednesday, University College London researchers analyzed neuroscience literature to reveal how extreme heat and climate change-fueled disasters influence key neurological diseases and mental health disorders. They found that environmental factors not only affect the prevalence of disease but can heighten the associated risk of hospital admission, disability and even death.

Climate change’s impact on health has been well studied, particularly when it comes to infectious and respiratory diseases. But it also takes a toll on neurological health, with the body’s temperature regulation process appearing to be a key driver in the uptick of conditions triggered by extreme heat.

“In order to work properly, the brain has to be maintained within a relatively narrow temperature range,” said Sanjay Sisodiya, a professor at the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology who led the research. “If the brain has a disease, then the brain’s ability to thermoregulate is compromised. Take someone with a neurological disease and put them in an extraordinary heat wave, you can see how that could well make their neurological disease worse.”

Really? The world’s temperature is up about 1.7F since 1850. Can people really feel that? Especially since humans have spread across the world, and many live in areas that are hot. If people didn’t like this would they be taking days, weeks, and vacations to go to hot places?

More investigation is needed into the exact mechanism linking neurological disorders with higher temperatures, Sisodiya added. As extreme weather worsens and becomes more common, it’s increasingly vital to untangle the exact relationship, particularly for the youngest, oldest and most vulnerable populations.

And there it is: they do not really know, they just need more taxpayer money to investigate, and use ‘climate change’ as the means.
