Abstract
The mechanisms of aluminum (Al) neurotoxicity is of increasing interes t. Al compounds are known to produce neurological and behavioral abnor malities in some mammalian species. The present study was designed to determine the effects of Al chloride on the skilled motor performance in mice on the rota-rod treadmill. Al chloride, depending on the durat ion of treatment, produced an impairment of the motor coordination abi lity in mice.
