ABSTRACT
We summarize and discuss issues that emerged from a workshop entitled 'Human and Animal Neurotoxicology-From Exposure to Great Lakes Pollutants' that was held as part of the May 2000 Annual Meeting of the International Association of Great Lakes Research in Cornwall, Ontario, Canada. The most apparent and distressing finding was the lack of communication that currently exists between scientists of different sub-disciplines-including in vitro and in vivo toxicologists, epidemiologists and risk assessors. Although all participants agreed that integrated, multi-disciplinary research is the only avenue that offers a realistic chance of identifying, characterizing and eventually preventing the adverse consequences of developmental exposure to neurological and reproductive toxicants, there was little consensus on how to achieve this goal. We leave to the readers of this Special Issue of Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology the daunting task of implementing the greater degree of communication needed to begin to solve problems due to developmental exposure to environmental contaminants.
