WELCOME

Dear Colleague,

You are cordially invited into membership in the Neurotoxicity Society (NTS) which was chartered in 2001 as a non-profit Scientific Society focused on the study of topics related to neurodegenerative disorders, neuropsychiatric disorders, neural adaptations to insult (i.e., substance abuse, stroke, traumatic brain injury), and to mechanisms and processes associated with nerve regeneration, neurotrophin actions, neurotoxic mechanisms, and neuroprotection.

Members of the NTS receive an online subscription to the journal Neurotoxicity Research

(www.NeurotoxicityResearch.com); and reduced registration at NTS meetings. You are invited to browse the NTS web site (http://nts.med.uchile.cl/NS/), from which you can access Society notices and information. Inquiries can also be made from this site.
