Neuro Chemistry and Neuro Toxicology

Neurochemistry is the study of chemicals, including neurotransmitters and other molecules such as psych pharmaceuticals and neuropeptides which control and influence the physiology of the nervous system. Neurotoxicology is a form of toxicity in which a biological, chemical, or physical agent produces an adverse effect on the structure or function of the central and/or peripheral nervous system. Neurotoxicity is known as ‘any form of substance-induced dysfunction of the nervous system’. Neurotoxicity can be studied from many different perspectives, including neurobehavioral, neurodevelopment, neurophysiology, neuropathology and neurochemistry.
