Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neurotoxicants are chemicals that affect the central nervous system and include but are not limited to lead, mercury, and other heavy metals, pesticides, solvents, nerve gas agents, carbon monoxide, and other gases. Neurotoxicant exposures have an impact on physical, emotional and cognitive health. Exposures can be low level/chronic, as in the case of subclinical encephalopathy, and acute poisoning events. Either chronic or acute exposures can result in significant health impacts, and result in central nervous system (CNS) effects that can be persistent and often progressive. Given the extent to which individuals are exposed to neurotoxicants from military deployments, occupational settings, and hobbies, major public health issues have arisen.
This Special Issue will focus on obtaining submissions related to neurotoxicant exposures and acute or chronic health outcomes. This could include mechanistic studies (blood biomarkers, brain imaging, cognitive and neuropsychiatric outcomes), and neurotoxicological outcomes in occupational and leisure activities. Genetic markers, biomarkers of exposure and disease as well as treatment development studies are welcome.
