neurotransmitter neurotoxins
 
Neurotoxins

  Neurotoxins are chemicals that make their way into the environment then into humans. Neurotoxins cause permanent damage to the cells (neurons) and structures (receptors and mitochondria) of the brain. When enough damage occurs symptoms of chronic disease develop. Parkinsonism is the prototype disease in studying neurotoxic damage in humans. The disease that develops is dependent on where the damage is in the brain. The only way to compensate for neurotoxic damage leading to chronic disease is to increase the neurotransmitter levels (serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine) higher than is normally found in the brain. This can only be don't with serotonin
 

and dopamine amino acid precursors. That is why the primary approach used in treating Parkinsonism is with L-dopa the precursor of dopamine. It is the dopamine neurons of the substantia nigra that are damaged leading to Parkinson's disease. Prescription drugs do nothing to increase neurotransmitter levels in the brain they work by moving neurotransmitters from one place to another and in the process set up conditions that burn out (deplete) neurotransmitters, instead of building them up.
 

  On this page is the most comprehensive list found date, 1,178 neurotoxins. This list is from information published by several US government agencies such as OSHA and Center for Disease Control. For a list of neurotransmitter diseases click here.
