Historically, amino acids were studied in the context of their importance in protein synthesis.
In the 1950s, the focus of research shifted as amino acids were recognized as putative …

During the last decade, there has been an increase in awareness of how anthropogenic
pollution can alter behavioural traits of diverse aquatic organisms. Apart from understanding …

Neonicotinoids are highly potent and selective systemic insecticides, but their widespread
use also has a growing impact on non-target animals and contaminates the environment …

The significance of neurotoxicological risks associated with anthropogenic pollution is
gaining increasing recognition worldwide. In this regard, perturbations in behavioral traits …

Abstract Methylmercury (MeHg), inorganic mercury (IHg), lead (Pb), amyloid-β peptide (Aβ),
and rotenone (RTN) are well-known toxicants. Here, we demonstrate that these five …

Due to the relative simplicity of their nervous system, invertebrate animals were widely used
in the past decades for studying the processes of excitability at membrane level, as well as …

Inorganic tin and organotin compounds, occurring in aquatic ecosystems, are toxic and can
cause behavioral abnormalities in living organisms. To determine the possible neuronal …

The effect of methylmercury chloride on the excitability of developing cortical neurons was
tested. Methylmercury was administered in the drinking water to pregnant rats during …

The effect of mercuric (II) chloride on kinetic parameters of carbacholactivated single
chloride channels were studied in cultured neurons of the marine mollusk, Aplysia …

The effect of Cd 2+, as one of the most widespread toxic environmental pollutants, was
studied on γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) evoked responses of identified neurons in the central …
