Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms Mediating Methylmercury Neurotoxicity and Neuroinflammation

Methylmercury (MeHg) toxicity is a major environmental concern. In the aquatic reservoir, MeHg bioaccumulates along the food chain until it is consumed by riverine populations. There has been much interest in the neurotoxicity of MeHg due to recent environmental disasters. Studies have also addresse...
