Abstract excerpt
Developmental exposure to organophosphates (OP) produces long-term changes in serotonin (5HT) synaptic function and associated behaviors, but there are disparities among the different OPs. We contrasted effects of chlorpyrifos and diazinon, as well as non-OP neurotoxicants (dieldrin, Ni(2+)) using undifferentiated and differentiating PC12 cells, a well-established neurodevelopmental model. Agents were introduced...
