In our neuroscience meetings, we focused on lead toxicity and air pollution. Our discussions involved whether CDC recommendations on lead toxicity levels are accurate, what therapeutics are available for lead toxicity (e.g. chelation), and their effectiveness. We also discussed what the research community should focus on — understanding the effects of lead toxicity, especially from an epigenetics perspective, or finding therapeutics. We talked about how much is known about the effects of air pollution, specifically ambient particulate matter, on the emergence of neurological disorders. Below are the research articles we have reviewed.
