Environmental effects on the central nervous system.
The central nervous system (CNS) is designed to respond to the environment and is peculiarly vulnerable to many of the influences found in the environment.

Environmental causes of central nervous system maldevelopment.
The central nervous system is the most vulnerable of all body systems to developmental injury. This review focuses on developmental processes by which the nervous system is formed and how those processes are known or suspected to be injured by toxic agents. The processes discussed are establishment of neuron numbers; migration of neurons; establishment of connections, neurotransmitter activity,...
