Abstract: Long term exposure to manganese may induce extracorticospinal tract damage in nervous system causing Parkinson-like disease.Though the mechanism of the manganese-induced neurotoxicity is not clear,studies show that it might be associated with the oxidative stress status in vivo.This article is a review on several up-to-date researches concerning manganese-induced mitochondria damage,impacts on dopaminergic neurons and effects in Ca2+,Fe2+ion metabolism.

Key words: manganese, mitochondria damage, neurotoxicity, oxidative stress
