“…The variability in the data supports the need to use more than one testing procedure when evaluating the visual outcome of occupational neurotoxic exposures [13], [15], [28], [31], [32]. Visual system performance and cognitive changes are not straightforward and may unpredictably affect the testing performance.…”

“…The Cambridge Colour Test (CCT) is a computerized test [26] that proved to be an efficient tool in the detection and quantification of acquired color vision defects [13], [14], [27], [28], [29], [30], [31], [32]. The test uses pseudoisochromatic stimuli and a four-alternative forced choice psychophysical procedure, avoiding eventual biases known to occur in arrangement tests and other classes of color vision tests.…”

“…Recent epidemiological studies evaluated exposure to different mercurials and found that even low levels of mercury cause subtle adverse effects on brain functions (Barboni et al 2009;Debes et al 2006) and may interfere with neurobehavioral development in children and affect also the immune system and cause progression of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases in adults (Kjellström et al 1989;Shamlaye et al 1995;Vas and Monestier, 2008;Virtanen et al 2005). However, the mechanism of toxicity has not been well understood and studies with EtHg and TM are scarce in vivo and in vitro (Geir et al, 2009;Ida-Eto et al, 2013;Migdal et al, 2011;Mutkus et al, 2005;Pieper et al, 2014;Sharpe et al, 2012;Westphal et al, 2003).…”

“…Color vision is a popular model system for information processing in neural circuits and human color perception has been successfully used as a model to assess the functional status of the central nervous system (Gobba and Cavalleri, 2003; Ventura et al, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007; Silva et al, 2005; Costa et al, 2006, 2007; Feitosa-Santana et al, 2008, 2010; Moura et al, 2008; Barboni et al, 2009; Conway et al, 2010). Current understanding of the human color perception system can be considered extensive when compared to our understanding of other sensory systems.…”
