Abstract

Psychological stress and exposure to inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase, both experienced by Gulf War veterans, disrupt the blood-brain barrier. This modifies acetylcholine levels, induces acetylcholinesterase overproduction, causes neuropathologies, and impairs cognitive, neuromotor, and immune faculties. Modified acetylcholinesterase regulation may, hence, be beneficial as an acute response but cause delayed damages. © 2007
