Applications of electrophysiology in a neurotoxicity battery.
Electrophysiology encompasses a multifaceted group of diagnostic tests which have been validated through clinical use. These evaluate not only CNS and PNS function, but also the function of the cardiovascular system, which affects the nervous system indirectly. As the many positive attributes of these tests become more widely recognized, it seems likely that the use of electrophysiologic tests will expand in the future.
