Description

Explores the effects of xenobiotics on the nervous system. Details the neurotoxic effects of all major categories of neurotoxicants and elucidates current understanding of the biomolecular mechanisms responsible for their respective toxicities. Covers both traditional and nontraditional neurotoxic agents.
