Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There have been some human studies showing a significant correlation between serum or urine metals and cognitive function. At the same time, some animal studies have confirmed that a variety of heavy metals are neurotoxic, but the relevant mechanisms are still unclear. This Special Issue focuses on (1) the neurotoxic mechanism of heavy metals and (2) the results of human studies related to heavy metals and nervous system function. Authors are invited to submit original research papers, reviews, or short communications.
