About INA.  The International Neurotoxicology Association (INA) is an organization of scientists working in the field of neurotoxicology. Fields of interest include all disciplines related to the study of the adverse effects of chemicals on the nervous system including neurochemistry, physiology, neuropathology, and behavior. Every two years, INA organizes a meeting in a quiet, and if possible, secluded place to encourage personal contact and the exchange of ideas among scientists from different disciplines working in the field and to facilitate the introduction of novices in the field to new colleagues and areas of interest (See future events)
