Description - Neurobehavioral Toxicology: Neurological and Neuropsychological Perspectives by James W. Albers

This comprehensive introduction to the developing field of neurobehavioral toxicology, offers an extensive evaluation of the ways in which toxins affect the human nervous system and behavior. It combines two fields of expertise, neurology and neuropsychology, both of which are founded on the assessment and treatment of the nervous system in health and disease, to consider the ways in which substances impact on the human body. It includes detailed analysis of individuals with neurological or neurobehavioral disorders and considers how these may be attributable to neurotoxicants. It also addresses and critiques the scientific methodologies relevant to developing a clinical diagnosis of these disorders and their etiologies. This book, the second of three volumes, concentrates on peripheral nervous system disorders. It looks at the effects of neurotoxicants on nerve, muscle and the neuromuscular junction. It builds on the scientific principles outlined in Volume I by looking at the application of the methods discussed, particularly in terms of the evaluation and diagnosis of individual patients and the related process of establishing causation.
"Neurobehavorial Toxicology, Volume II" will be of interest to practicing neurologists and neuropsychologists, as well as to, occupational medicine physicians and medical toxicologists.
