I've never yet seen any such study yet myself, but I know there's been studies enough on how it affects the brains of mice, and given that it destroys the mouse's "risk aversion" such that the mouse will basically feed itself to a cat (to complete the life cycle of the the parasite), one might wonder if it has a similar effect on the risk aversion portion of the human brain as well… Seems to me that if no proper studies have yet been done on that, then perhaps such studies should be done, considering a significant portion of humanity likely already has this parasite happily eating away at their brains, including probably most of our "leaders".
