title: Albinism and evoked potentials: factors in the selection of infrahuman models in predicting the human response to neurotoxic agents.
abstract: 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.
