(A) Definition. Behavioral toxicology analyzes the adverse functional effects of toxic actions in the brain. (B) Process. This section presents the spectrum of behavioral tests of cognition, emotional functions, as well as other behavioral functions, their use across ages and species and the integration of behavioral toxicology with other neurotoxicology approaches. Mechanistic analysis from behavioral function back to more component processes can converge with the forward mechanistic analysis. (C) Conclusion. Behavioral toxicology provides a clear link of toxicant exposure to the functions of concern to human neurotoxicity and provides a way to discern which neurotoxic effects cause functional impairment.
