The Effects of Toluene on the Central Nervous System
- PsychologyJournal of neuropathology and experimental neurology
- 2004
The impact of toluene abuse on the authors' society is considered, the specific neurobehavioral deficits in toluenes leukoencephalopathy are described, the spectrum of neuroimaging findings in patients with this disorder are reviewed, the teratogenic effects of toLUene in both humans and animal models are summarized, and possible explanations for the range of neuropathological damage seen in brains of individuals who chronically abuse toluen are offered.
Do organic solvents induce changes in the dopaminergic system? Positron emission tomography studies of occupationally exposed subjects
- Psychology, MedicineInternational archives of occupational and environmental health
- 1997
The hypothesis that long-term exposure to organic solvents may increase the rate of dopamine synthesis in the brain without affecting the number of presynaptic terminals or postsynaptic dopamine receptors is supported.

According to the findings, long-term occupational exposure to organic solvents in concentrations that are not unusual at workplaces may lead to development of chronic neurotoxic symptoms.
Three-dimensional brain metabolic imaging in patients with toxic encephalopathy.
- Medicine, PsychologyEnvironmental research
- 1993
This series of patients adds to the previous experience of brain metabolic imaging and demonstrates that certain areas of the brain are typically affected despite differences in toxin structure, that these lesions can be globally defined by SPECT/PET brain scans, and that such testing is a useful adjunct to previous methods.
White matter changes caused by chronic solvent abuse.
- MedicineAJNR. American journal of neuroradiology
- 1995
There are some patients with restricted but severe enough change to cause the neurologic symptoms in specific regions, such as the brain stem and/or cerebellum, before the brain atrophy becomes apparent, which suggests that the restricted white matter change represents not only an early change of diffuseWhite matter change, but at least in some cases also represents a qualitatively different change than that of diffusewhite matter change.

In this review of research performed since 1985, particular attention is given to issues of reversibility of neurotoxicity following exposure cessation and health effects involving other organ systems, particularly reproductive, renal, and hepatic disorders.

The findings suggest that the propeptide, follistatin, or other molecules that block signaling through this pathway may be useful agents for enhancing muscle growth for both human therapeutic and agricultural applications.

Risk Factors Associated with Persistence of Neuropsychological Deficits in Persons with Organic Solvent Exposure
- PsychologyThe Journal of nervous and mental disease

Results from this study suggest that the presence of certain risk factors, namely a peak exposure and psychological distress, may be particularly detrimental for long-term neuropsychological outcome in persons with a history of organic solvent exposure.
