Methyl bromide was formerly used as a fire extinguisher,
it is still used as an herbicide.
Mercury is oto-toxic, and the neuropathological study of
Oyanagi et al. revealed its damaging effects in the brain.
Alpha-chlorohydrin was developed for possible use as a
male contraceptive.
Carboplatin is used in chemotherapy for cancer patients.
Troncoso et al. described the symmetric bilateral lesions
of the brainstem caused by pyrithiamine, a poison that
displaces thiamine at its enzyme attachment points.
