Developmental Neurotoxicity Testing: Scientific Approaches towards the Next-Generation to Protect the Developmental Nervous System of Children An overview of the DNT Symposium in 2011

Abstract:

The Developmental Neurotoxicology (DNT) Committee has been working for promoting developmental neurotoxicology and related scientific areas of interest to integrate academic and regulatory sciences in this field since the Behavioral Teratology Meeting was established in the Japanese Teratology Society in 1982. The committee has led several large-scale collaborative studies to standardize existing methodologies and held symposiums and workshops periodically at the society's annual meetings. This overview provides a history of the DNT committee, as well as a brief summary of the DNT symposium in 2011.
