Declining or Waning
- Traditional Neurotoxic Agents:
Research on classical neurotoxic agents, such as lead and mercury, has seen a decrease as newer methodologies and agents gain attention, shifting focus towards more contemporary neurotoxins and their mechanisms. - Invasive Techniques in Neurotoxicity Research:
Studies employing highly invasive techniques in animal models are becoming less common, as there is a growing preference for non-invasive or minimally invasive methodologies that prioritize animal welfare. - Single-Agent Toxicity Studies:
There is a trend away from studies focusing solely on the effects of single neurotoxic agents, with a growing interest in combinatorial effects and interactions between multiple compounds. - Historical Reviews of Neurotoxicity:
While reviews are still valuable, there has been a noticeable decline in the publication of historical reviews on neurotoxic agents, as the focus shifts towards innovative research and novel findings.
