Neuroecotoxicology: Effects of environmental heavy metal exposure on the brain of African giant rats and the contribution of vanadium to the neuropathology

Increased exploitation of minerals has led to pollution of confined environments as documented in Nigeria Niger Delta. Information on the effects on brain of such exposure is limited. Due to its exploratory activities, the African giant rat (Cricetomys gambianus) (AGR) provides a unique model for ne...
