Cyanobacterial Neurotoxin Beta-Methyl-Amino-<span style="font-variant: small-caps">l</span>-Alanine Affects Dopaminergic Neurons in Optic Ganglia and Brain of <i>Daphnia magna</i>

The non-proteinogenic amino acid beta-methyl-amino-<span style="font-variant: small-caps;">l</span>-alanine (BMAA) is a neurotoxin produced by cyanobacteria. BMAA accumulation in the brain of animals via biomagnification along the food web can contribute to the development of n...
