The pathogenesis of these disorders is yet to be fully understood, and current research efforts are focused on elucidating the cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible, with the hope that drugs that prevent or reverse disease progres- sion will be discovered. Three of the major neurodegenerative diseases are Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease, which are discussed in this product guide. Research into these disorders has so far yielded few drugs that have proven effective in clinical trials, and many current therapies are targeted at attenuating disease symptoms, rather than disease progression. Due to the prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases, they constitute a significant human, societal and economic burden. The global financial cost far outweighs other disorders such as stroke, musculoskeletal disease, heart disease or cancer. Given the aging population, the incidence of neurodegenerative disorders is predicted to rise; early diagnosis and effec- tive treatment is of paramount importance, and these rely on a greater understanding of the mechanisms that underlie each disorder. Included in this guide are key compounds used in the study of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease, as well as illustrative schematics of the molecular mechanisms thought to contribute to each disease.

  • Identifying and Controlling Poisons of the Nervous System
    Neurotoxicity: Identifying and Controlling Poisons of the Nervous System April 1990 OTA-BA-436 NTIS order #PB90-252511 Recommended Citation: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Neurotoxicity: Identifying and Controlling Poisons of the Nervous System, OTA-BA-436 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, April 1990). For sale by the Superintendent of Documents U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402-9325 (order form can be found in the back of this report) . Foreword Extraordinary developments in the neuroscience in recent years have been paralleled by a growing congressional interest in their policy implications. The designation of the 1990s by the 101st Congress as the “Decade of the Brain” is one indication of the promise shown by scientific advances for treating diseases of the nervous system and for increased general understanding of the human mind. Other advances, however, have led us to the disturbing realization that many commonly used chemicals can adversely affect the human nervous system. Concern about this issue provided the motivation for hearings held in October 1985 on ‘‘Neurotoxins in the Home and in the Workplace’ by the Subcommittee on Investigations and Oversight of the House Committee on Science and Technology. Another result of heightened congressional interest was a request that OTA undertake a series of assessments on major public policy issues related to the neuroscience. Requesting committees included the House Committees on Science, Space, and Technology; Energy and Commerce; Appropriations; and Veterans’ Affairs; and the Senate Subcommittee on Science, Technology, and Space of the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. In addition, the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works recently requested a study of the noncancer health risks posed by toxic substances.
