Glossary of Terms Used in Neurotoxicology
-
Doug Templeton
The primary objective of this Glossary of Terms Used in Neurotoxicology is to provide clear definitions to readers who contribute to studies relevant to neurotoxicology, or must interpret them, but are not themselves neurotoxicologists, neuroscientists or physicians. This applies especially to chemists who need to understand the literature of neurotoxic effects of substances without recourse to a multiplicity of glossaries or dictionaries. The Glossary includes terms related to basic and clinical neurology as far as they are necessary for a self-contained document, particularly terms related to diagnosing, measuring, and understanding the effects of substances on the central and peripheral nervous systems. The glossary consists of about 750 terms as primary alphabetical entries, including Annexes of common abbreviations and examples of chemicals with known effects on the nervous system. The authors hope that, in addition to chemists, this glossary will be helpful, to groups including toxicologists, pharmacologists, medical practitioners, risk assessors, and regulatory authorities. In particular, it should facilitate the worldwide use of chemistry in relation to occupational and environmental risk assessment.
