How Does Neurotechnology Enhance Toxicological Assessments?
Neurotechnology enhances toxicological assessments through advanced imaging techniques, such as functional MRI (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG), which allow for real-time observation of the brain's response to toxicants. These techniques enable scientists to detect subtle changes in brain activity and connectivity, offering a deeper understanding of neurotoxins' impact. Additionally, neurotechnology aids in developing better in vitro models, such as organ-on-a-chip technologies, which mimic the complex cellular environments of the human brain more effectively than traditional methods.
