Clothianidin and Thiacloprid Mixture Administration Induces Degenerative Damage in the Dentate Gyrus and Alteration in Short-Term Memory in Rats by Alejandra Mora-Gutiérrez, Jorge Guevara, Carmen Rubio, Minerva Calvillo-Velasco, Daniela Silva-Adaya, Socorro Retana-Márquez, Blanca Espinosa, Carmen Martínez-Valenzuela, Moisés Rubio-Osornio

“…Likewise, the brains of these animals showed tissue architecture loss, nucleosomal retraction, and a significant increase in the pycnosis of the granular neurons of the dentate gyrus analyzed at 72 h after the last dose (P=0.0125). Toxic effects and cognitive deterioration that have been found in communities living near contaminated areas are probably related to the agricultural use of neonicotinoids.…”
