Neonicotinoid insecticides (NNI) are agonists of insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) that induce non-elucidate mechanisms of abnormal behavior in insects. In this work, we investigated the effects of sublethal doses of the neonicotinoid thiamethoxam (TMX) on neurochemical and physiological parameters in cockroaches. Sublethal doses of TMX (0.01-10 ng.g body mass) caused significant alterations in most of the neurophysiological parameters evaluated. TMX reduced sustained locomotor activity by 19.9-25.8 %, depending on the dose. Leg grooming activity increased by 124.5 ± 3.4 %, 158.7 ± 3.5 %, 168.3 ± 3.4 %, and 160.4 ± 3.4 % (mean ± SEM) with TMX doses of 0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10 ng.g, respectively. Exploratory activity was significantly reduced only at the lowest TMX dose (0.01 ng.g) - the time spent immobile increased from 30 % to ∼45 %, whereas none of the doses affected the walking speed. Treatment with TMX (0.01 ng.g) markedly reduced the olfactory sensitivity of the cockroaches and also reduced the mechanosensory action potential amplitude, rise time and decay time by 61.2 ± 19 %, 50 ± 4 %, and 76.8 ± 9.5 %, respectively. In semi-isolated heart preparations, TMX caused positive chronotropism (increases of 34.7 ± 15.9 %, 26.8 ± 7.8 %, 43.0 ± 16.5 %, and 19.0 ± 13.7 % for 0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10 ng of TMX, respectively). TMX attenuated the activity of glutathione-S-transferase by 35.1 ± 6.4 % at the highest dose tested (10 ng.g). TMX caused alterations in the metal ion content of cockroach brains that varied with the dose tested and the ion examined. These findings indicate that sublethal doses of TMX can interfere with normal neurological function in cockroaches and disrupt brain metal ion homeostasis.
