Lead, Manganese, and Methylmercury as Risk Factors for Neurobehavioral Impairment in Advanced Age

Figure 4

Schematic of scope of neurotoxic signs stemming from exposure to methylmercury. The full syndrome, as in Table 3, occurs with massive exposures. The primary current question, a population question, arises from the possible occurrence of subtle neuropsychological deficits that would only be evident with systematic testing; that is, latent effects.
