Pathology cases – This is your brain on methylene blue

This is the case of a middle aged man who died in an automobile accident.  He has a history of taking methylene blue as a dietary supplement.  At autopsy, he had a greenish-hued brain.

 

 

For those who aren’t used to looking at fresh brains, it’s usually a whitish yelow.  Methylene blue is becoming increasingly popular as a possible nootropic agent, popularized by Joe Rogan among others.  We might be seeing more of this.
