Abstract:
Neurotoxicity induced by a chemical in vivo is usually produced when the target site within the nervous system is exposed to a sufficient amount of the chemical or its toxic metabolite(s) for a duration of time that is sufficient to result in biological changes. These may be seen as changes in behavior, neurochemistry, neurophysiology, or neuropathology.
