Alternative Methods In Neurotoxicology (Original PDF From Publisher)

Written by Joao Batista Rocha

The most recent volume in this series, Alternative Methods in Neurotoxicology, Volume Nine, offers a summary of significant in vitro and non-vertebrate animal models that can be used to investigate the neurotoxicity of various toxicants with relevance to the workplace and environment.

Planarians as a model to research neurotoxic chemicals, Evaluation of mitochondrial function in neurotoxicology using alternative models and other chapters are included in this updated edition. Drosophila melanogaster’s role in neurotoxicology research: reactions to various hazardous chemicals, Nauphoeta cinerea is a developing model in neurotoxicology; neurotoxicology of metals and metallic nanoparticles in Caenorhabditis elegans; neurotoxicology of environmental toxicants utilizing Caenorhabditis elegans as a model and more.

Human Neural Stem Cells in Developmental Neurotoxicology: Current Scenario and Future Prospects is covered in other chapters. Drosophila melanogaster is used to further the field of developmental neurotoxicology research. 3D neurospheres and neurotoxicity of organophosphorus and TCE, Genetic variables in methylmercury-induced neurotoxicity: what we have learnt from Caenorhabditis elegans models and more.

Provide a current overview of the use of two well-known invertebrates in neurotoxicology: Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster. provides succinct information on new invertebrate models for neurotoxicology (ranging from fundamental to environmental methods). provides information about the use of human stem cells in vitro for developmental neurotoxicology.
