Can trace amounts of neurotoxins destroy dopamine neurons?
The concept that trace amounts of 6-hydroxydopamine or environmental toxins can induce destruction of dopaminergic nerve terminals is questioned based on observations that very much higher neuronal levels of 6-hydroxydopamine do not produce toxic events.
