## 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 Ξ±βaminoβ3βhydroxyβ5βmethylβ4βisoxa
