TLDR
Although the convergence between animal and human findings for other neurobehavioral endpoints is not as striking, sensory-evoked potentials and communicative processes offer two promising areas for continued investigation and cross-species comparison.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Human Health Effects of Air Pollution
TL;DR: A multidisciplinary approach using epidemiology, animal toxicology, and controlled human exposure studies has contributed to the database, and studies of humans but will also draw on findings from the other disciplines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Piezoelectric materials for tissue regeneration: A review
TL;DR: A review of piezoelectricity, endogenous electric fields and transmembrane potentials in biological tissues raised the question whether or not electric fields play an important role in cell function as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental Neuropathology of Environmental Agents
TL;DR: A number of chemicals that have been shown, in several experimental models as well as humans, to cause morphological changes in the developing nervous system are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Results of lead research: prenatal exposure and neurological consequences.
TL;DR: Experimental studies have shown that the developing nervous system is particularly sensitive to the toxic effects of lead and that a large number of the effects in the nervous system are due to interference of lead with biochemical functions dependent on calcium ions and impairment of neuronal connections dependent on dendritic pruning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental lead exposure: behavioral alterations in the short and long term
TL;DR: Exposure to Pb during pregnancy and lactation induces in weaned pups hyperactivity, decreased exploratory behavior, and impairment of learning and memory and the results demonstrated that the regimen of exposure adopted induces anxiety in these animals at nondetectable blood Pb levels.

Deficits in Psychologic and Classroom Performance of Children with Elevated Dentine Lead Levels
Herbert L. Needleman,Charles Gunnoe,Alan Leviton,Robert M. Reed,Henry Peresie,Cornelius Maher,Peter V. D. Barrett +6 more
TL;DR: Lead exposure, at doses below those producing symptoms severe enough to be diagnosed clinically, appears to be associated with neuropsychologic deficits that may interfere with classroom performance.
Book
Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale
TL;DR: This chapter discusses the uses and research uses of the NBAS, as well as some of the myths and misconceptions surrounding its use and its place in modern nursing practice.

Journal ArticleDOI
Longitudinal analyses of prenatal and postnatal lead exposure and early cognitive development.
TL;DR: It appears that the fetus may be adversely affected at blood lead concentrations well below 25 micrograms per deciliter, the level currently defined by the Centers for Disease Control as the highest acceptable level for young children.
