Quantitative T mapping-based longitudinal assessment of brain injury and therapeutic rescue in the rat following acute organophosphate intoxication.

Acute intoxication with organophosphate (OP) cholinesterase inhibitors poses a significant public health risk. While currently approved medical countermeasures can improve survival rates, they often fail to prevent chronic neurological damage. Therefore, there is need to develop effective therapies and quantitative metrics for assessing OP-induced brain injury and its rescue by these therapies.
