Alternatively, some of the effects of Pb " may be attributable to its ability to substitute for Ztf or to interfere with the regulation of neural cell adhesion molecules during postnatal development (Bressler and Goldstein, 1991 Regan, 1989, 1991, 1993). Lee et al. (2002) suggested that selective increase in tyrosine hydroxylase levels observed in the locus ceruleus of lead exposed neonatal rats may help explain lead-induced hyperactivity in children, because this enzyme is rate-limiting in the biosynthesis of catecholamies.

A variety of substrate- and cell-attached factors influence neural development by regulating adhesion properties of cells (see Ch. 7). Interactions occur directly between cells or between a cell and the extracellular matrix (see Ch. 2). The molecules mediating these interactions have been implicated in regulating the specificity and timing of cell-cell adhesion and the consequences on cell morphology and physiology. Hence, they influence the ability of cells not only to migrate but to sort themselves out and to stabilize spatial relationships considered important for the process of differentiation.
