This is the first research to connect phthalate exposure at a critical time of development with these cell and nerve effects in the hippo-campus. Although not measured in the study, the brain effects may result in impaired cognitive functioning and could result in significant behavioural changes throughout life. In people, disruptions in development of the hippo-campus may result in poorer memory, which can impact learning ability and even IQ.
