Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Edson X Albuquerque"
- Edson X Albuquerque's recent research primarily investigates the neuropharmacological effects and mechanisms of organophosphorus (OP) insecticides and related compounds, focusing on their implications for treatment strategies in cases of poisoning and neurodevelopmental toxicity.
- His studies highlight the efficacy of muscarinic and nicotinic receptor antagonists, such as (R,S)-trihexyphenidyl and galantamine, in mitigating the harmful effects of OP exposures and toxins, signaling potential therapeutic avenues.
- Albuquerque's work also delves into how prenatal and postnatal exposures to OPs, like malathion and chlorpyrifos, can lead to long-term cognitive deficits and developmental neurotoxicity, underscoring significant public health implications.
