Cellular conditions responsible for MeHg-mediated site-specific neurotoxicity. MeHg-mediated site-specific neurotoxicity involves cerebellar granule cells, the primary afferent nervous system, and deep layers of cerebrocortical neurons (especially layer IV), which are surrounded by a red frame. The cellular conditions indicated here are responsible for the occurrence of MeHg-mediated site-specific neurotoxicity. CGCs, cerebellar granule cells; PCs, Purkinje cells; M, molecular; DRG, dorsal root ganglia; DRN, dorsal root nerve.
