Neurotransmitters and Toxicology 1st Edition

Neurotransmitters and Toxicology 1st Edition

Neurotransmitters and Toxicology 1st Edition is a detailed reference designed for students and professionals in medical sciences, neuroscience, pharmacology, and allied health fields. The book explains how neurotransmitters function as endogenous substances released from neurons, interact with receptor sites on postsynaptic cells, and influence the properties of the target cell. Covering the nervous system from synapse to neuronal signaling, it explores how neurotoxicity develops through processes such as neuron death, axon degeneration, damage to glial cells, and disruption of the axonal membrane.

Readers will also learn about toxic substances, including pesticides, metals, solvents, natural substances, and industrial chemicals, which act as neurotoxins. The content highlights environmental chemicals that contribute to neurodevelopmental, neuropsychiatric, and neurodegenerative disorders, while also addressing oxidative stress, neuro-inflammation, chemical exposure, and occupational hazards. With a focus on both pathology and disease mechanisms, this book offers valuable insights for toxicologists, neuro-chemists, and researchers interested in brain function and mental health.
