TY - JOUR AU - Pamphlett, Roger AU - Kum Jew, Stephen PY - 2013 DA - 2013/05/09 TI - Uptake of inorganic mercury by human locus ceruleus and corticomotor neurons: implications for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis JO - Acta Neuropathologica Communications SP - 13 VL - 1 IS - 1 AB - Environmental toxins are suspected to play a role in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In an attempt to determine which pathways these toxins can use to enter motor neurons we compared the distribution of mercury in the CNS of a human and of mice that had been exposed to inorganic mercury.
