          How DDT Exposure Contributes to Alzheimer’s Disease Risk

          DDT exposure causes sodium channels to remain open, leading to increased neural firing and an increased release of amyloid beta peptide. Blocking the channels with tetrodotoxin reduces the toxic amyloid protein by increasing the production of the amyloid precursor protein.

          Fetal Neuromaturation Associated with Mother’s Exposure to DDT and Other Environmental Contaminants

          Researchers discover a mother's higher exposure to some common environmental contaminants are associated with more vigorous and frequent motor activity. The results show the fetus is susceptible to environmental exposure and this can be detected by measuring fetal neurobehavior.
