Botulinum Toxin - Recent Topics and Applications provides doctors and researchers with the most up-to-date information on the structure and action of botulinum toxins as well as their usage to treat a wide range of disorders. The book covers the fundamentals of botulinum toxins, including improvements in our understanding of their molecular structure and mechanism of action. Furthermore, it covers the production and formulation of botulinum toxins for clinical applications. The information contained herein will hopefully shift the paradigm of botulinum toxin research, moving it away from a focus on toxin attributes toward a focus on toxin engineering based on patient requests and physician experiences in everyday practice.

Neurotoxins are natural or chemical compounds that can disturb the neurological system of mammals. The neurotoxic potential of a neurotoxin is a consequence that may occur if tissue concentrations surpass a particular threshold. Chemicals disrupt adult brain function by interfering with the structure and function of various neuronal pathways, circuits, and systems in diverse ways. Neurotoxicity - New Advances provides updated information about neurotoxicity and neurotoxic chemicals including nanomaterials and pesticides. It also discusses prevention and treatment strategies. This book is an instructive and valuable guide to understanding neurotoxicity and identifying neurotoxicity mechanisms and neurotoxic disorders.
