✦ Synopsis

In summary, Eisen et al.4 propose a bold and imaginative view, but techniques presently available cannot conclusively validate or invalidate the hypothesis. In fact, we may have to wait for the ac-tual discovery of the precise etiology of the disease through different approaches to judge its potential merit.

## Abstract Excitotoxicity may play a role in certain disorders of the motor system thought to be caused by environmentally acquired toxins, including lathyrism and domoic acid poisoning. Motor neurons appear to be particularly susceptible to toxicity mediated via α‐amino‐3‐hydroxy‐5‐methyl‐4‐isoxa
