Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurotoxicology
  • Medical Law

Background:

  • Clinical neurologic evaluations require standardized methods for accuracy.
  • Diagnosing neurotoxic exposures necessitates understanding various diagnostic tests.
  • Legal proceedings often require thorough documentation and evidence from clinical findings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To equip neurologists with simple, universally applicable methods for clinical neurologic evaluations.
  • To define the appropriate use and interpretation of diagnostic tests sensitive to neurotoxic exposures.
  • To guide neurologists in preparing clinical findings and utilizing supportive literature for legal admissibility.

Main Methods:

  • Review of conventional neurologic, neurophysiologic, neuropsychological, and biochemical diagnostic tests.
