Neurotoxicity refers to negative changes in the normal activity of the nervous system by endogenous and exogenous toxic substances. Many different chemical compounds or biological neurotoxins can cause neurotoxicity, including chemotherapy drugs, heavy metals, pesticides, and more. Studies on the neurotoxicity of substances are limited and the toxicity of many different substances is not fully known. For this reason, there is a need for neurotoxicologists specialized in this developing field as well as new prevention and treatment approaches against

Perturbations can come and go quickly, evolve slowly over days or weeks and regress over months or years, or result in chronic deficiencies. Although there may be a long delay between exposure and the emergence of neurotoxic consequences, neurotoxicity is usually self-limiting after exposure ends and rarely progressive in
