...We get only one chance to develop a brain. Yet no textbook discusses brain development from the point of view of vulnerability to toxic damage, and only a tiny fraction of neuroscience today focuses on the developmental and toxicological origins of brain dysfunctions and disease. Methods for neurotoxicity testing of chemicals are available, but some need further validation or refinement. Our future use and production of chemicals should be tested for safety with regard to brain development. The new research initiatives can contribute crucial guidance for prudent decisions on protecting the brains of our children and grandchildren. That would be an intelligent investment.
