The scientists examined the axonal response in mice that did not have c-Jun in their central nervous systems.
Those toxins can affect the central nervous systems of fish and other vertebrates, causing the animals to die.
That's an inherited degenerative disorder of the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Their nervous systems are simple, too, which makes them a good starting point for studies of the neurological arrangement that eventually spawned the human brain.
In their study, published this week in Neuron, the researchers decided to look at male mice which had been genetically engineered to lack androgen receptors in their nervous systems.
In her study, Lammi-Keefe and her colleagues found that infants born of women with more omega-3s in their diet during pregnancy had more developed central nervous systems.
It is, however, a plausible hypothesis, and there is some evidence that their autonomic nervous systems (which control basic bodily functions such as heartbeat and body temperature) have not been working properly.
Anyone who eats a large quantity of bluefin over a long period would be more likely to see ill effects from mercury -- which can damage the brain and nervous systems of young or unborn children -- before facing the threat of cancer from radioactive cesium, Fisher said.
In large doses, mercury contamination can affect the health and populations of fish and wildlife, as it harms their central nervous and reproductive systems.
Worse still, some of those fish are full of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), which at worst, cause cancer and at best wreck humans' immune, reproductive, nervous and endocrine systems.
Stripers there happen to be chock full of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), which at worst, cause cancer in humans and at best wreck immune, reproductive, nervous and endocrine systems.
