Toluene and the Brain Abuse of substances containing toluene (for
|
|
example, glue) can produce various neurological symptoms. In an
|
|
investigation of the mechanism of these toxic effects, researchers
|
|
measured the concentrations of various chemicals in the brains of rats
|
|
that had been exposed to a toluene-laden atmosphere, and also in
|
|
unexposed control rats. The concentrations of the brain chemical
|
|
norepinephrine (NE) in the medulla region of the brain, for six
|
|
toluene-exposed rats and five control rats, are given in accompanying
|
|
data file in ng/g.
