What is Arsenic-induced Developmental Neurotoxicity about?

Affecting millions of people worldwide, arsenic exposure can cause several health problems, such as skin disorders and diseases of the gastrointestinal, respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological, genitourinary, endocrine, and hematopoietic systems. Arsenic is a well-known neurotoxicant that affects the central nervous system as well as the peripheral nervous system. When exposure occurs in the early developmental stages, the nervous system is more susceptible to toxic agents. Epidemiologic and animal studies have demonstrated that arsenic exposure impairs neurodevelopment, for example intellectual functions and motor functions. In this chapter, we review the presently known neurodevelopmental toxicity of arsenic in humans and animals, arsenic distribution, possible mechanisms of action, and neuroprotective effects of some agents against arsenic toxicity.
