Introduction to Neurobehavioral Toxicology

Introduction to Neurobehavioral Toxicology: Food and Environment examines the effects of chemicals on the central and peripheral nervous system and the subsequent changes in behavior, with a focus on the toxicity of food components and behavioral effects of environmental toxicants. Topics addressed include acute and chronic effects, reversible and irreversible consequences, functional disorders of the nervous system, neurobehavioral dysfunctions, and the underlying neurobiological mechanisms. It also presents the neurobehavioral effects of natural food components, food contaminants, and food additives and assesses neurotoxic hazards of food-related chemicals, natural food factors, and neurotoxic food contaminants and additives.
