چکیده
We have been witness to significant research advances in areas such as neuroscience, neurodegeneration, cancer therapy, etc., yet, investigation in developmental neurotoxicology (DNT) has fallen behind [1]. [...].

Strategies and tools for preventing neurotoxicity: to test, to predict and how to do it.
A change in paradigm is needed in the prevention of toxic effects on the nervous system, moving from its present reliance solely on data from animal testing to a prediction model mostly based on in vitro toxicity testing and in silico modeling. According to the report published by the National Research Council (NRC) of the US National Academies of Science, high-throughput in vitro tests will pr...
متن کاملOnly One Chance : How Environmental Pollution Impairs Brain
Humans have lived with chemical pollution for thousands of years, but the recent proliferation of industrial chemicals poses novel threats. In the new book Only One Chance, distinguished environmental health researcher Philippe Grandjean argues for special attention to developmental neurotoxicology, i.e. to the effects of chemical pollution on the developing human brain during pregnancy and in ...
متن کاملMental retardation and developmental disabilities influenced by environmental neurotoxic insults.
This paper sets a framework for the discussion of neurotoxicity as a potentially major contributor to the etiology of many types of mental retardation and developmental disabilities. In the past the literatures on developmental neurotoxicology and on mental retardation have evolved independently, yet we know that the developing brain is a target for neurotoxicity in the developing central nervo...
متن کاملVolumetric neuroimaging and low-dose early-life exposures: loose coupling of pathogenesis-brain-behavior links.
The interface of developmental neuroimaging with developmental neurotoxicology can, broadly speaking, address two complementary concerns. The first is to study the impact of specific exposures on brain development. The second is to study known neurobehavioral disorders with an eye to discerning toxicological contributions to pathogenesis. Pathogenesis targets brain based upon physical propertie...
متن کاملPlanarian brain regeneration as a model system for developmental neurotoxicology
Freshwater planarians, famous for their regenerative prowess, have long been recognized as a valuable in vivo animal model to study the effects of chemical exposure. In this review, we summarize the current techniques and tools used in the literature to assess toxicity in the planarian system. We focus on the planarian's particular amenability for neurotoxicology and neuroregeneration studies, ...
