• Description:
  "Methodology used in the Soviet Union for determination of behavioral and neurophysiological effects of toxic agents is reviewed. The standard Soviet behavioral toxicology methods summarized were: olfactory sensation
  
  eye or light sensitivity
  
  electroencephalogram (EEG) unconditioned reflex
  
  EEG conditioned reflex
  
  EEG photic driving
  
  optical chronaxy
  
  general motor activity
  
  chronaximetry
  
  motor response latency
  
  and motor operant conditioning. The authors state that use of these neurophysiological toxicity tests has resulted in the establishment of lower maximal allowable concentrations in the Soviet Union than those set in the United States." - NIOSHTIC-2
