Sommario/riassunto

This book offers pathologists, toxicologists, other medical professionals, and students an introduction to the discipline and techniques of neuropathology - including chemical and environmental, biological, medical, and regulatory details important for performing an analysis of toxicant-induced neurodiseases. In addition to a section on



fundamentals, the book provides detailed coverage of current practices (bioassays, molecular analysis, and nervous system pathology) and practical aspects (data interpretation, regulatory considerations, and tips for preparing reports).
