The occurrence of neuroactive chemicals in the aquatic environment is on the rise and
poses a potential threat to aquatic biota of currently unpredictable outcome. In particular …

The developing central nervous system and the blood brain barrier are especially
vulnerable and sensitive to different chemicals, including environmental contaminants and …

Testing of compounds for neurotoxicity has become increasingly important in recent years. It
has been shown that neurological disorders like autism may be related to chemical …

At a time when common regulatory pathways are being identified in several different species
and genomics is beginning to allow comparisons of genes, how they are arranged on …

The zebrafish is a powerful toxicity model; biochemical assays can be combined with
observations at a structural and functional level within one individual. This mini review …

Rapid and cost-effective in vivo assays to screen potential environmental
neurodevelopmental toxicants are necessary to address the limitations of in vitro platforms …

Altered neurological function will generally be behaviourally apparent. Many of the
behavioural models pioneered in mammalian models are portable to zebrafish. Tests are …

Neurotransmission is the basis of neuronal communication and is critical for normal brain
development, behavior, learning, and memory. Exposure to drugs and chemicals can alter …

With the continuous development of precise detection technology, more and more pollutants
have been detected in the environment. Among them, neurotoxic pollutants have attracted …

Recent advances in neurobiology have emphasized the study of brain structure and function
and its association with numerous pathological and toxicological events. Neurotransmitters …
