Abstract

This review explores the intricate interplay between neurotoxic ology and endocrine disruption, shedding light on the complex interactions that occur at the intersection of these two fields. Neurotoxicology investigates the adverse effects of substances on the nervous system, while endocrine disruption focuses on the interference with hormonal signaling pathways. Recognizing the interconnectedness of these disciplines is crucial for understanding the comprehensive impact of environmental exposures on human health. The nervous system and the endocrine system share a dynamic relationship, with hormones playing pivotal roles in neurodevelopment and function. Environmental neurotoxic ants, ranging from heavy metals to industrial chemicals, have been implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. The review explores the potential crosstalk between neurotoxic ants and endocrine disruptors, emphasizing how disturbances in one system may propagate effects to the other.
