Neurotoxicology Approaches and Methods

Neurotoxicology: Approaches and Methods is a unique and comprehensive presentation of the current concepts and state-of-the-art methods for the assessment of neurotoxicity and for the understanding of the toxic mechanisms of many neurotoxicants. The book analyzes various techniques available and discusses their strengths and weaknesses. This volume will serve as an excellent desk companion and laboratory guide fore all investigators, researchers, clinicians, and students interested in neurotoxicology. The internationally known group of editors divide the book into the following sections: Neuromorphological and Neuropathological Approaches, Neurophysiological Approaches and Methods, Neurobehavioral Toxicology, Neurochemical and Biomolecular Approaches, In Vitro Models, Clinical Neurotoxicology, and Risk Assessment for Neurotoxicity. Each section yields the most up-do-date information by experts in their fields. Meticulously organized and edited, Neurotoxicology is the most authoritative and well-planned neurotoxicology book on the market.
