Exposure to household mold causes brain damage in humans.

Is it true that exposure to household mold causes brain damage in humans?
Partly. One animal study with cited human case reports suggests mold exposure may cause central nervous system and behavioral effects, while a published commentary argues that the main human study claiming mold causes brain damage used flawed methods. The remaining retrieved items concern respiratory, mental-health or cognitive associations, not brain damage itself.
