Evaluation of Effect Profiles: Functional Observational Battery Outcomes [PDF]
Fundamental and Applied Toxicology, 1997 The Functional Observational Battery (FOB) is a neurotoxicity screening assay composed of 25-30 descriptive, scalar, binary, and continuous endpoints. These outcomes have been grouped into six biologically logical domains as a means to interpret the neuroactive properties of tested chemicals (V. C. Moser, 1992, J. Am. Coll. Toxicol.
