Neurotransmitters are usually considered to be endogenous
substances that are released from neurons, act on receptor sites
that are typically present on membranes of postsynaptic cells and
produce a functional change in the properties of the target cell.
They are essential features of the nervous systems of all animals
and numerous chemicals can act as neurotransmitters either
intentionally (e.g. pesticides) or unintentionally (neurotoxins).
The most common forms of neurotoxicity are the death of neurons,
degeneration of axons, damage to glial cells and interference with
the axonal membrane or neurotransmission. Important neurotoxins are
found among pesticides, metals, solvents, natural substances, and
industrial chemicals. Environmental chemicals may also contribute
to the pathology of neurodevelopmental, neuropsychiatric, and
neurodegenerative disorders. Neurotransmitters and Toxicology will
be particularly appealing to toxicologists with an interest in
neurotoxicology in a variety of sub-disciplines, as well as
neuro-chemists interested in pathology and disease mechanisms
associated with neurotoxicants.
