Environmental Health News: Mixing Mercury with PCBs reduces affect on hearing in RATS.
PCBs are industrial chemicals historically used as insulators and coolants in electrical applications. They persist in the environment and can accumulate in fatty tissues of people and animals. Because of these properties, their use is now banned in most industrialized nations.
THEY HAVE A DAMPENING AFFECT ON GABA.  
THEY ACT LIKE DIOXIN ON THE NEURONS
Despite these caveats, the strong point of this study is that it is able to provide important insight into the vexing question of how PCBs affect chemical signaling in the brain.
"Dendrite growth and branching during early development is a finely orchestrated process, and the presence of certain PCBs confuses the conductor of that process," said Pamela Lein, a developmental neurobiologist and professor of molecular biosciences in the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. "Impaired neuronal connectivity is a common feature of a number of conditions, including autism spectrum disorders."

It has to do with calcium
The non-dioxin like PCBs
Makes you grow more dendrites
Than humans have ever fit into a skull b4

"Orderly choreography of the calmodulin kinase-to-Wnt2 pathway translates normal increases in calcium levels into normal levels of dendrite production," said Wayman
