Neurotoxicology is the study of the adverse effects of chemical, biological, and physical agents on the structure and function of the nervous system. This scientific session will explore the latest research and advances in neurotoxicology, exploring how various neurotoxicants, from environmental pollutants to pharmaceuticals, impact neurological health. Neurotoxicology plays a critical role in understanding the mechanisms behind neurodegenerative diseases, cognitive dysfunctions, and other neurological disorders, contributing significantly to both basic and clinical neuroscience.
Neurotoxicology is a rapidly evolving field with profound implications for public health. As our understanding of neurotoxic mechanisms grows, so does the potential to prevent, diagnose, and treat neurotoxic-related disorders. Continued research is essential to unravel the complex interactions between genetic, environmental, and chemical factors that contribute to neurological diseases, ultimately improving both preventive strategies and clinical care for those affected by neurotoxic damage. This scientific session will provide a comprehensive overview of the state of neurotoxicology, bringing together experts to discuss the latest findings, challenges, and future directions in this critical area of research.
