Cellular and molecular mechanisms of neurotoxicity are also influenced by the fact that neurons are postmitotic and do not divide. Thus, the capacity for replacement of damaged cells does not exist in the nervous system, whereas most other organ systems have a well-established capacity for regeneration. Many neurotoxins can cause encephalopathy and an important concept in neurotoxicology is the delayed manifestation of symptoms sometimes up to years after the exposure started. Several agents show a lag time between exposure and neurotoxicity. Examples are the organophosphate chemical warfare agents [245], bismuth intoxications [246] and methylmercury...
