Recently, the excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter glutamate was implicated in the pathogenesis of a variety of chronic degenerative neurological diseases in humans and animals. This report describes abnormalities in excitatory amino acids in the central nervous system of 18 patients with amyotrop
## Abstract Transmitter receptor binding was estimated in the spinal cord of 6 subjects with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and 4 control subjects in assays using ^3^Hβquinuclidinyl benzilate for muscarinic cholinergic receptors, ^3^Hβstrychnine for glycinergic receptors, ^3^Hβspiroperidol for
