title: Adult versus developmental neurotoxicology: an occupational perspective of similarities and differences.
abstract: Most readers of this journal are involved in neurotoxicology research, whether it is in adult or developing organisms. Although there are a number of similarities between adult and developmental neurotoxicology, there are also a number of differences. The intent of this "perspective" is to highlight some of the similarities and differences between these disciplines in the hopes of enhancing communication among neurotoxicologists.
