Neurobehavioral disorders are well-recognized among the adverse health effects of exposure to mercury. The effort to characterize these effects in animals and humans has progressed steadily over several decades. This has included a variety of study designs, and employed a variety of measurement techniques to evaluate exposure of individuals and populations. The Twelfth International Neurotoxicology Conference, Neurotoxicity of Mercury: Indicators and Effects of Low-Level Exposure, included a plenary session on the predictive value of psychometric and neurobehavioral testing of animals and humans in assessing neurotoxic effects. This session provided a broad view of the methods currently in use to measure adverse effects on the nervous system, in particular those effects that might be attributed to mercury exposure.
神经行为障碍是汞暴露对健康产生的不良影响中广为人知的。几十年来，在动物和人类身上表征这些影响的工作一直在稳步推进。这包括各种研究设计，并采用了多种测量技术来评估个体和人群的暴露情况。第十二届国际神经毒理学会议“汞的神经毒性：低水平暴露的指标和影响”包括一场全体会议，主题是动物和人类的心理测量和神经行为测试在评估神经毒性影响方面的预测价值。本次会议广泛介绍了目前用于测量对神经系统不良影响的方法，特别是那些可能归因于汞暴露的影响。
