Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues
The neurotoxicity of metals is an important topic, as metals can cause neurodevelopmental toxicities, cognative and behavorial alterations, and neurodegeneration. The risk due to exposure of metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury and manganese, has been appreciated for some time; nevertheless, insights into their roles in disease processes and their mechanisms of action continue to be described. Furthermore, exposures to metals once thought to be safe or negligable, such as tungsten and the lanthanide series, are gaining more attention due to their increased industrial use. This Special Issue aims to investigate both novel roles for traditional neurotoxic metals, as well as describe neurotoxicities for previously understudied metals.
