title: Variability in susceptibility of the nervous system to toxic insult.
abstract: There is a marked variability in the susceptibility of different cell types in the nervous system to toxic insult. Some of this variation is associated with factors related to the specific functions of the cells, but some also reflects genetic differences in metabolism. It is important that the role of genetic polymorphisms are considered, along with the broader aspects of susceptibility to neurotoxins, in the development of certain neurological disorders.
