Excitatory amino acid b-N-methylamino-L-alanine is a putative environmental neurotoxin

Excitatory amino acid b-N-methylamino-L-alanine is a putative environmental neurotoxin

The amino acid b-N-methylamino-L-alanine (L-BMAA) has been associated with the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/parkinsonism-dementia complex in three distinct western Pacific populations. The putative neurotoxin is produced by cyanobacteria, which live symbiotically in the roots of cycad trees. L-BMAA...
