Description

Yixin Chen and co-authors review how organophosphate pesticides harm the nervous system in a 2024 paper. These compounds are used worldwide in farming and pest control. Exposure can cause nausea, tremors, and convulsions, and severe cases can end in breathing failure or death. The review sums up the toxic mechanisms and how they interlock.

The compounds block a key enzyme and also act through receptors and other targets beyond that enzyme. The authors outline links between poisoning and later disorders such as dementia, developmental conditions, and Parkinson's disease. They also explore treatment ideas that might soften the damage. Readers get a broad map of harm pathways and their ties to chronic brain disease.
