Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the secondary neurotoxicity resulting from severe organophosphorus (OP) poisoning, specifically paraoxon (POX), and its impact on cognitive functions in surviving mice.
- Mice were injected with POX followed by various treatments, resulting in high survival rates but significant neurological changes such as increased lipid peroxidation and alterations in neurotransmitter levels in key brain areas linked to memory.
- Despite no signs of depression or anxiety, the study found long-term memory impairments in the mice, highlighting the model's usefulness for exploring the effects of OP exposure and strategies to combat associated cognitive deficits.
