Abstract

The role of aluminium as a neurotoxic agent has been demonstrated in many independent investigations. In our study, chronic intoxication of the rat CNS produced by epidural application of an aluminium salt led to neuronal degeneration of tissue distal to the primary lesion. Furthermore, the alterations seem to be restricted to distinct populations of neurons. Preliminary neuropathological data are reported.
