内容説明

Volume 73 contains papers discussed at the 15th Summer School for Brain Research held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands; the intention of which was to present high level didactic reviews of important lines of investigation in the "neurochemistry of functional neuroteratology; permanent effects of chemical on the developing brain". This topic was chosen to broaden our understanding of an increasingly important branch of brain research generally called "behavioural teratology". Rather than focussing on gross abnormalities in development as encountered in classical teratology, this field concentrates on the subtle, but long-lasting, changes found in the brain due to deleterious chemical and environmental factors experienced during neurogenesis and maturation.

目次

Section 1 - Outlines of Functional Neuroteratology. 1. Concept of functional neuroteratology and the importance of neurochemistry (D.F. Swaab, G.J. Boer and M.G.P. Feenstra). 2. Defects of neuronal migration and the pathogenesis of cortical malformation (P. Rakic). 3. Implications of behavioral teratology for assessing the risks posed by environmental and therapeutic chemicals (B. Weiss). 4. Problems in studying functional teratogenicity in man (H.J. Huisjes). 5. Behavioural teratology of exogenous substances: regulation aspects (H.B.W.M. Koeter). Section 2 - Lasting Effects of Early Hormone Imbalance . 6. Teratogenic mechanisms of dysthyroidism in the central nervous system (A. Vaccari). 7. The role of the insulin-like growth factors in the regulation of brain development (V.R. Sara and C. Carlsson-Skwirut). 8. Stress, glucocorticoids and development (E.R. De Kloet, P. Rosenfeld, J.A.M. Van Eeekelen, W. Sutanto and S. Levine). 9.
