These papers from the August, 1999 Parkinson's Disease Symposium in Danube, Germany "focus scientific expertise on the real potential for parkinsonian toxins to arise from the ballooning melange of environmental chemicals" (from the Preface). They also discuss new ideas and techniques, and new biomedical investigations in environmental PD research. Papers discuss mechanisms of selective vulnerability, MPTP/MPP+ action and mechanism, catecholamine-oxidation pathways in neurotoxicity, pesticides and metals in nigrostriatal degeneration, and mechanisms of neuroprotection. Specific attention is given to potential neurotoxins like B-carbolines and isoquinolines. Twenty poster abstracts are also included. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
