Study First To Link A Weed Killer Chemical Glyphosate To Convulsions In Animals

Results, published in Scientific Reports , showed that Glyphosate and Roundup increased seizure-like behavior in soil-dwelling roundworms and provided significant evidence that glyphosate targets GABA-A receptors. These communication points are essential for locomotion and are heavily involved in regulating sleep and mood in humans.
