Dioxins and CNS problems

Regarding my posting of a few days ago...I stand corrected.  I did come 
across some data that may indicate a link between dioxin exposure and 
neurological problems.  These are just in vitro studies showing 
disruptions in different neurological parameters.  It is unclear if these 
perturbations occur in a human exposure.  The work, which was several 
abstracts from a recent meeting, came from labs at Texas A&M.  Drs. Safe 
and Tiffany-Castiginoli appeared to be the senior authors.  However, most 
neurologists would not make a leap from these data to human disease, and 
rightly so.
