Arsenic is a group-I toxicant and a co-carcinogen which has been shown to increase the cognitive dysfunction even at a lower concentration [1]. It has been shown to have more intense effect in children [2]. Chronic arsenic exposure induces a significant deficits in the long term memory in children [3]. Inorganic arsenic modulates locomotor activity and behavioral task suggesting the impairment of sensory and motor nerves [4]. Epidemiological studies reveal that chronic arsenic exposure through drinking
