Alternative Methods in Neurotoxicology, Volume Nine: A Comprehensive Overview

By Joao Batista Rocha, this latest release in the series provides an in-depth look at essential in vitro and non-vertebrate animal models for studying neurotoxicity. The book covers a range of toxicants relevant to occupational and environmental settings.

Key Chapters and Topics

Volume Nine includes chapters on:

• Evaluation of mitochondrial function in neurotoxicology using alternative models
• Planarians as a model to study neurotoxic agents
• Role of Drosophila melanogaster in neurotoxicology studies: Responses to different harmful substances
• Neurotoxicology of metals and metallic nanoparticles in Caenorhabditis elegans
• Neurotoxicology of environmental toxicants using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model
• Nauphoeta cinerea as an emerging model in neurotoxicology

Other chapters cover topics such as:

• Human Neural Stem Cells in Developmental Neurotoxicology: Current Scenario and Future Prospects
• Use of Drosophila melanogaster for advances in developmental neurotoxicology studies
• 3D neurospheres and neurotoxicity of organophosphorus and TCE
• Genetic factors in methylmercury-induced neurotoxicity: what we have learned from Caenorhabditis elegans models

Key Features

This book offers:

• Up-to-date information on the utilization of popular invertebrates (Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans) in neurotoxicology
• Concise information on emerging invertebrate models in neurotoxicology, from basic to environmental approaches
• Updates on the in vitro exploitation of human stem cells in developmental neurotoxicology
