Neurobehavioral Alterations in Zebrafish Due to Long-Term Exposure to Low Doses of Inorganic Arsenic.

Inorganic arsenic (As) is one of the most ubiquitous and toxic substances with widespread health effects on human populations and biodiversity. Although arsenic is a frequent surface water pollutant, there is scant evidence about neurotoxicity in aquatic species in different stages of development. In the present study, we investigated the neurobehavioral effects of chronic exposure to environmentally relevant doses of arsenic.
