“…Dubey et al (2014) stated that these changes may be attributed to direct toxic effect of Hinosan on hepatocytes since the hepatopancres is the site of detoxification of all types of toxins and chemicals (Robert, 2001). Shamooshaki et al (2008) (Drummond and Russom, 1990;Cohn and MacPhail, 1996). Pesticides are lipophilic and rapidly absorbed in fish gills which cause respiratory limitations (Masud and Singh, 2013).…”

“…Social or conspecific behaviors have received relatively little attention from neurotoxicologists. Naturalistic studies of behavior, the discipline of ethology, have not proven a popular area of neurotoxicity research (120). Now, with the expanding interest in endocrine disruption as an index of toxicity, the appearance of reports linking lead exposure to aggression (121), and public concern that environmental chemicals may be responsible for some antisocial behaviors, the situation is primed for a new look.…”

79The normal structure and function of the nervous system may be altered as a result of exposure to some xenobiotics before or after birth. Alterations in nervous system function may be identified in laboratory animals using neurobehavioral methods. Our understanding of neurobehavioral methods is derived primarily from an extensive history of use in four related disciplines: experimental psychology, ethology, biopsychology, and behavioral pharmacology. Because of the vast array of technologies and experimental models provided by these histories, the neurobehavioral panel of the working group convened by the International Life Sciences Institute Risk Science Institute decided to limit and focus our discussion to those most relevant and promising for developmental assessment. We divided the available assessment methods into six categories: sensory function, motor function, cognitive function, social behaviors, autonomic/thermoregulatory processes, and biologic rhythms. Developmental neurotoxicity (DNT) data available for the first three categories far exceed the data available for the latter three; therefore, discussion of the first three categories was more extensive and focused on basic principles that form the basis for proper use and interpretation. The consensus of the neurobehavioral panel was that the behavioral test methods used in DNT testing are, for the most part, employed correctly in hundreds of different laboratories around the world. However, there are numerous examples of the misuse of these methods and misinterpretation of results derived from these methods. Therefore, a major focus of the discussion that follows outlines the principles for proper use and interpretation of these methods. The latter three categories were discussed less extensively and primarily from the standpoint of potential usefulness for DNT. Although neurophysiologic techniques also have an extensive history of use in both neuroscience and clinical neurology (1), these have not been used on a wide scale for DNT studies and were outside the scope of the current discussion. Common IssuesMany issues are common to most, if not all, methods of behavioral testing for DNT. The importance of most of these issues has been recognized, with attempts to ensure that methodology addresses them appropriately. Discussions in this section provide additional guidance on consideration of these issues in the use of behavioral test methods in DNT testing.Behavioral tests vary along many dimensions of desirable properties, including the amount of available validation data, speed of testing, breadth and/or specificity of test results, availability of equipment and personnel to conduct the test, and extrapolation of results among species. Thus, the most desirable properties depend upon the experimental context (i.e., what is the question being asked? What other end points are available to address the issue?). The latter question is extremely important and often overlooked because most tests are part of a battery. If little is known about a test subst...
