However,
very little research has been done on neural development due
to lead exposure. We will study how different concentrations
of lead affect chick development at an earlier embryo age
than Anwer, et al (Anwer, et al 1988). Our experiment is new
and innovative because we will study the neural development
of chick embryos injected with lead acetate. The results
obtained for chick embryos might be applicable to answer the
questions of how and why humans are affected most severely
in brain and nervous system development. For humans,
neurological and cognitive behavioral deficits have been
important results of lead exposure (Needleman et al.,
1990).
