Abstract
It has been observed that high levels of phenylalanine inhibit the synthesis of sulfatides in brain. A possible scenario leading to a decreased number of synaptic contacts in the adult is developed as an explanation for brain dysfunction. The evidence for each of the steps of this scenario is reviewed.Entities:
