Document Summary

Neurotoxicants and toxins have been extensively studied because of their toxic effects on humans and their utility in the study of the nervous system. Many insights into the organization and function of the nervous system are based on observations derived from the action of neurotoxicants. In order to study neurotoxicological consequences of chemical exposures, one must understand the structure, function and development of the nervous system. These features can be quite complex, with differential anatomy, physiology, and cell types specific for location and function. In many cases, knowing which part of the central nervous system (cns) has been targeted gives you an idea of what the neurotoxin might be, because some cause damage to only a specific region. Spinal cord: sensory input and motor output, voluntary and autonomic, reflex and relay pathways. Brain stem and midbrain: blood pressure and respiration, relay between cortex and cerebellum for movement, auditory and visual systems.
