Neurotoxicology and Teratology presents original reports of systemic studies in the areas of adult neurotoxicology and developmental neurotoxicology in which the primary emphasis and theoretical context are on the nervous system and/or behavior. The Journal publishes original, peer-reviewed studies that cover the developmental and adult neurotoxicity of pesticides, drugs of abuse, pharmaceuticals, solvents, heavy metals, organometals, general industrial-use compounds, marine and plant toxins, atmospheric reaction compounds, and physical agents such as radiation and noise. Neurotoxicology and Teratology also features Brief Communications that concisely describe a new method, technique, or apparatus and experimental results. Invited Reviews and Open Peer Commentary series provide a timely update on selected aspects of a scientific field undergoing rapid change or on areas that present special methodological or interpretive problems.
