Résumé
Warfare neurotoxicants such as sarin, soman or VX, are organophosphorus compounds which irreversibly inhibit cholinesterase. High-dose exposure with nerve agents (NA) is known to produce seizure activity and related brain damage, while less is known about the effects of acute sub-lethal dose exposure. The aim of this study was to characterize behavioral, brain activity and neuroinflammatory modifications at different time points after exposure to 4-nitrophenyl isopropyl methylphosphonate (NIMP), a sarin surrogate. In order to decipher the impacts of sub-lethal exposure, we chose 4 different doses of NIMP each corresponding to a fraction of the median lethal dose (LD
