How Do Neurotoxic Substances Affect the Nervous System?
Neurotoxic substances can interfere with the nervous system in multiple ways. They may alter neurotransmitter synthesis, release, or uptake; disrupt neuronal cell membranes; inhibit enzyme function; or induce oxidative stress. These disruptions can lead to symptoms such as cognitive deficits, motor dysfunction, sensory disturbances, and behavioral changes.
