The Dependence Of Pb Distribution In Brain Cells On The Interactions Of Astroglia And Neurons.

Lead (Pb) is a ubiquitous environmental contaminant which has been linked to neurobehavioral deficits, primarily in young children. A current hypothesis for Pb distribution among brain cells is that astroglia, which are interposed between the blood capillaries and neurons, protect neurons by Pb upta...
