Neurotoxicology
Neurotoxicology is the study of how substances damage the nervous system, affecting the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Neurotoxins disrupt neurotransmission, harm neural structures, and alter brain chemistry, leading to neurological disorders. These toxic effects can result from environmental, industrial, or pharmaceutical exposures, with both acute and chronic consequences.
