Abstract excerpt
Intraspecies variation has been found to affect the physiological, behavioral, and biochemical responses to a variety of neurotoxicants, including the organophosphate diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP). However, there is little information on long-term physiological responses to neurotoxicant exposure using strain as a dependent variable. In the present study, radiotelemetry methodology was used to continuously...
