Albinism and evoked potentials: factors in the selection of infrahuman models in predicting the human response to neurotoxic agents.
Pertinent factors that should be considered when using infrahuman models in neurotoxicology research are outlined. Particular caution should be exercised in using albino animals as models in research concerning neurotoxicology.
