Developmental neurotoxicity of industrial chemicals
TLDR
Two main impediments to prevention of neurodevelopmental deficits of chemical origin are the great gaps in testing chemicals for developmental neurotoxicity and the high level of proof required for regulation.About:

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new approach to global sustainability in which they define planetary boundaries within which they expect that humanity can operate safely. But the proposed concept of "planetary boundaries" lays the groundwork for shifting our approach to governance and management, away from the essentially sectoral analyses of limits to growth aimed at minimizing negative externalities, toward the estimation of the safe space for human development.

Neurobehavioural effects of developmental toxicity
TL;DR: To control the pandemic of developmental neurotoxicity, a global prevention strategy is proposed and chemicals in existing use and all new chemicals must therefore be tested for developmental neurotoxicants is proposed.

The Parieto-Frontal Integration Theory (P-FIT) of intelligence: converging neuroimaging evidence.
Rex E. Jung,Richard J. Haier +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the P-FIT provides a parsimonious account for many of the empirical observations, to date, which relate individual differences in intelligence test scores to variations in brain structure and function.

Regulation of apoptosis in health and disease: the balancing act of BCL-2 family proteins
TL;DR: The development of both positive and negative small-molecule modulators of apoptosis is now enabling researchers to translate the discoveries that have been made in the laboratory into clinical practice to positively impact human health.

Critical periods of vulnerability for the developing nervous system: evidence from humans and animal models.
Deborah C. Rice,Stan Barone +1 more
TL;DR: Of critical concern is the possibility that developmental exposure to neurotoxicants may result in an acceleration of age-related decline in function, and the fact that developmental neurotoxicity that results in small effects can have a profound societal impact when amortized across the entire population and across the life span of humans.

TL;DR: Environmental lead exposure in children who have maximal blood lead levels < 7.5 μg/dL is associated with intellectual deficits, and an inverse relationship between blood lead concentration and IQ score is found.
