Human behavior can be affected by such exposure and can give important clues that a person or population is in danger. If we can understand the mechanisms of these changes, we can develop better ways of testing for toxic chemical exposure and, most important, better prevention programs. This volume explores the emerging field of neurobehavioral toxicology and the potential of behavior studies as a noninvasive and economical means for risk assessment and monitoring. Pioneers in this field explore its promise for detecting environmental toxins, protecting us from exposure, and treating those who are exposed. 606 $aNeurotoxicology$vCongresses 606 $aEnvironmental toxicology$vCongresses 606 $aNervous system$xDiseases$xEnvironmental aspects$vCongresses 606 $aNeuropsychological tests$vCongresses 606 $aBehavior$xdrug effects 606 $aNervous System Diseases$xchemically induced 606 $aNeurotoxins$xadverse effects 608 $aConference Proceedings. 615 0$aNeurotoxicology 615 0$aEnvironmental toxicology 615 0$aNervous system$xDiseases$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aNeuropsychological tests 615 2$aBehavior$xdrug effects. 615 2$aNervous System Diseases$xchemically induced. 615 2$aNeurotoxins$xadverse effects. 676 $a616.8 701 $aRussell$b Roger W$01792826 701 $aFlattau$b namela Ebert$01792827 701 $aPope$b Andrew MacPherson$f1950-$01792828 712 02$aU.S. National Committee for the International Union of Psychological Science. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommission on Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education. 712 12$aWorkshop on Behavioral Aspects of Neurotoxicity: Critical Issues$f(1988 :$eAustralian National University) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962936303321 996 $aBehavioral measures of neurotoxicity$94331872 997 $aUNINA
