Lysosomal disruption, mitochondrial impairment, histopathological and oxidative stress in rat's nervous system after exposure to a neonicotinoid (imidacloprid).

Imidacloprid (IMI), a neonicotinoid pesticide, has been widely used due to its high efficiency against insect pests. However, its prolonged exposure may pose significant risks to non-target organisms, including mammals. Recent studies have raised concerns about its potential neurotoxicity, yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.
