Opis

This volume examines the effects of chemicals on the peripheral nervous system and the subsequent changes in behaviour, with a focus on the toxicity of food components and behavioural effects of environmental toxicants. Topics covered include: acute and chronic effects; reversible and irreversible consequences; functional disorders of the nervous system; neurobehavioural dysfunctions; and the underlying neurobiological mechanisms.

Recenzje

"The contributors are well-recognized experts in their fields. The book also has an extensive glossary, a descriptive table of neuropsychological tests, a two-page list of abbreviations, and an index... timely, well-balanced reviews and commentary... The overview in this section (Chapter 11) is thorough and well organized."
