## 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

## Abstract In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) non‐neuronal cells play key roles in disease etiology and loss of motoneurons via noncell‐autonomous mechanisms. Reactive astrogliosis and dysfunctional transporters for L‐glutamate [excitatory amino acid transporters, (EAATs)] are hallmarks of ALS
