Springer Toxin-Induced Models of Neurological Disorders

This is the first evaluative discussion of the use of neurotoxins to produce animal models of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's and other human neurodegenerative diseases. The work also responds to criticisms of the use of animals in biomedical research by examining the utility, validity, and limitations of the models presented. An excellent resource for researchers and students in the neurosciences and environmental toxicology interested in both the practical and ethical aspects of animal research.
