Abstract in brief

  • Methylene blue (MB) is an FDA-approved drug primarily used for treating conditions like methemoglobinemia and poisoning.
  • MB has been found to enhance memory and increase blood oxygen levels in animal studies, but its effects on human brain connectivity were previously unknown.
  • A study showed that a low dose of MB altered brain activity and connectivity in healthy adults, suggesting its potential for further research in both healthy individuals and those with neurological conditions.
