“…In summary, the inhibitory effects of MeHg exposure on cell cycle progression and precursor proliferation are relevant to concerns about prenatal and childhood exposure to environmental levels of MeHg on the developing human brain (Myers et al, 2000(Myers et al, ,2003. Our studies build on epidemiological data by identifying a component of neurodevelopment that is susceptible to mercury at levels approaching ambient exposure.…”

“…Mercury (Hg) is a major concern due to its potentially adverse impacts on public health (Myers and Davidson 2000;Horvat et al 2003Horvat et al , 2004Cheng et al 2006;Zhang and Wong 2007;Zheng et al 2007). Unfortunately, continuing human activities are exacerbating Hg emissions into the environment.…”
