Exploring neonicotinoid effects on Drosophila: insights into olfactory memory, neurotransmission, and synaptic connectivity
Neonicotinoid insecticides, the fastest-growing class in recent decades, interfere with cholinergic neurotransmission by binding to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. This disruption affects both targeted and non-targeted insects, impairing cognitive functions such as olfaction and related behavi...
