Classification of advanced methods for evaluating neurotoxicity

Abstract Purpose of review As fields such as neurotoxicity evaluation and neuro-related drug research are increasing in popularity, there is a demand for the expansion research. Currently, assessed by measuring changes weight behavior. However, measurement does not allow detection subtle inconspicuous neurotoxicity. In this review, methods advancing divided into molecule-, cell-, circuit-, animal model-based methods, results previous studies assessing provided discussed. Recent findings coming decades, cooperation between universities, national institutes, industrial governments, private sector will become necessary when identifying alternative evaluation, which current goal related to improving assessment an appropriate approach prediction. Many field neuroscience have recently been reported. This paper classifies supplementary complementary experimental measures evaluating
