Manganese neurotoxicity: behavioral disorders associated with dysfunctions in the basal ganglia and neurochemical transmission

Abstract: Manganese (Mn) is an essential element required for many physiological functions. While it is essential at physiological levels, excessive accumulation of Mn in the brain causes severe dysfunctions in the central nervous system known as manganism. Manganism is an extrapyramidal disorder characterized by motor disturbances associated with neuropsychiatric and cognitive disabilities similar to Parkinsonism. As the primary brain regions targeted by Mn are the basal ganglia, known to be involved in the pathophysio… Show more

“…Two possible routes for manganese to enter the brain from the blood stream are currently being discussed: (1) directly via the blood brain barrier (BBB) and (2) via the brain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier, followed by translocation to the brain. According to some authors, the latter route might be of particular importance, at least at elevated manganese plasma concentrations . It is assumed that the transport from the blood into the brain is mediated inter alia by the transferrin/transferrin receptor‐mediated endocytosis pathway.…”

“…Manganese toxicity is associated with neurological dysfunction and Parkinson's disease (Chartlet 2012, O'Neal & Zhang 2015, Bouabid 2016, Sarkar 2018. Excess manganese exposures in animals have been shown to disrupt mitochondrial function, induce neuroinflammation, obstruct neurotransmission, and damage the basal ganglia of the midbrain (Bouabid 2016, Sarkar 2018. Extensive neuronal death and tissue damage in the midbrain impairs motor function control and can be reliably measured in animals using various motor behavioral tests (Brooks & Dunnett 2009).…”

“…[5][6][7][8] Chronic occupational or environmental exposure to high levels of Mn can lead to its accumulation in basal ganglia 9,10 and result in manganism, which is characterized by Parkinson-like motor dysfunction. 6,11 Additionally, with extensive commercial application of Mn (eg, Mn-containing pesticide, gasoline antiknock agent [methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl], and industry waste water contamination), reports of cognitive impairments among adults and children induced by excessive Mn exposure have increased. 7,8 However, the precise molecular mechanisms of Mn-induced neurotoxicity, particularly cognitive dysfunction, remain unclear.…”
