Handbook of developmental neurotoxicology

The Handbook of Developmental Neurotoxicology provides a comprehensive account of the impacts, mechanisms, and clinical relevances of chemicals on the development of the nervous system. The book is written by internationally recognized experts on developmental neurotoxicology, covering subjects from basic neuro-development to toxic syndromes induced by various chemicals. It is an important text for both students and professionals who are interested in developmental neurobiology and neurotoxicology. Key Features * Written by internationally recognized experts on developmental neurotoxicology * Includes extensive references * Well illustrated with diagrams, charts and tables * Provides coverage of basic neurobiology as well as neurotoxicology.
