The mechanism of bromomethane-induced neurotoxicity is not known. It is generally agreed that effects are not the result of metabolic breakdown products such as methanol or bromide, since neither the characteristic effects nor the dose dependency correspond to those of the metabolites (Clarke et al. 1945 Honma et al. 1985). Rather, it is more likely that bromomethane acts by alkylating key cellular components such as enzymes (Lewis 1948 Rathus and Landy 1961).
