Behavioural Toxicity of Anticholinesterases in Humans and Animals - A Review

Abstract

1 Available information describing the behavioural changes induced by anticholinesterases in humans and animals is reviewed. 2 Very little confidence can be placed in existing descriptions of the behavioural effects of anticholinesterases in humans. 3 Although data from animal experimental studies is reliable, the information obtained is relatively superficial. 4 It is concluded therefore, although much information is available, surprisingly little is known of the behavioural changes induced by anticholinesterases.
