The world is suffering a pandemic of neurodevelopment and neurodegenerative disorders. Autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, dementia, Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease-the list is long-have all increased relentlessly the past few decades. The primary cause appears to be the saturation of the environment with microbial, chemical, and metal neurotoxins. This editorial reviews the research on commonly found neurotoxins and attempts to assess their contribution to neurodegeneration and its prevalence in the population.
世界正遭受神经发育和神经退行性疾病的大流行。自闭症、注意力缺陷多动障碍、痴呆症、阿尔茨海默病、帕金森病——这样的疾病不胜枚举——在过去几十年里都在持续增加。主要原因似乎是环境中充斥着微生物、化学和金属神经毒素。这篇社论回顾了关于常见神经毒素的研究，并试图评估它们对神经退行性变的影响及其在人群中的患病率。
