Why this source matters
Maps the connection between metal exposure (lead, mercury, arsenic, manganese) and proteinopathy mechanisms (amyloid-beta aggregation, tau phosphorylation, alpha-synuclein) in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, with critical emphasis on developmental epigenetic priming. WikiBiome depends on this framework to explain why metal burden during critical windows drives neurodegenerative disease across distinct proteinopathies—establishing lead and manganese as selective pressures that alter both neuroinflammation and protein misfolding cascades.
