Abstract
Several neurotoxic insults have been shown to affect epigenetics with negative consequences on the development of the nervous system; among them are methylmercury, lead, arsenic and cadmium, as well as excess of glucocorticoids. Further investigations on the individual susceptibility to epigenetic changes are needed to propose and validate such modifications as possible biomarkers for early identification of neurological/neurodevelopmental disorders and for predicting/monitoring response to treatment.
