Abstract

Glyphosate, a controversial herbicide, has been approved for use in the European Union for another 10 years despite uncertainty over whether it increases the risk of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson disease. We call for new approaches to assessing the neurotoxicity of glyphosate and other pesticides and improving their regulation.
