Neuronal Injury and Disease Induced by Environmental Toxicants

Dear Colleagues,

Exposure to environmental pollutants, metabolic toxins, drugs, and other chemicals can cause damage to the nervous system, leading to a spectrum of neural diseases; however, the mechanisms behind this are unclear. This Special Issue will focus on these harmful factors and explain their direct or indirect toxic effects and potential mechanisms based on various cellular and disease outcomes, such as neurodegenerative diseases, psychiatric disorders, cellular stress, inflammation, death, etc., in human, animals, or cells. Moreover, research on toxicokinetics and the internal exposure levels to toxic substances in humans is also welcomed. These studies will be beneficial for achieving better knowledge of the hazards of these toxic substances, which may lead to novel intervention strategies for the neurological and psychiatric disorders they cause.
