Gulf War Veterans Continue to Experience Cognitive Effects of Toxic Chemical Exposures
BUSPH researchers have recently published a new analysis examining the cognitive effects of toxic chemical exposures in Gulf War veterans in the journal Environmental Health. The results of their analyses indicate that about one-third of these veterans still experience Gulf War Illness (GWI) symptoms. The findings demonstrate that Gulf War veterans continue to struggle with cognitive issues that affect their memory, attention, and executive functioning. These results may help inform future research and treatment, while also validating the years of cognitive impairments endured by these veterans. Learn more here.
