Sorry if this is already being discussed, but WTF?
U.S. embassy workers in Havana who were subject to mysterious, loud noises and vibrations in an invisible attack last year were found to have developed brain abnormalities, doctors have discovered.
Tests by doctors searching for clues to explain what led to the victims' hearing, memory, balance and vision damage reveal the workers developed changes to the white matter tracts in their brain that control communication, several U.S. officials said, according to an Associated Press report. These findings support a general agreement by government and university physicians who have been researching the attacks.
White matter in the brain is made up of cells called axons, which connect to one another so nerves can communicate between different regions of the brain. Damage to white matter can impair sensory, motor and cognitive function. Doctors would not say if changes to white matter were found in all the victims.
The discovery is one of several factors that leads investigators to believe some type of sonic weapon was involved in the attacks. It it also the first major physical finding related to damages incurred by the invisible attacks.
