(a) Neuronal damage produced by the oral administration of the neonicotinoid mixture (LD50 2/10). (b) Effect of the oral administration of saline solution observed in a magnification of 40X, showing the granular cells of DG 72 h and 19 days after the proofs on MWM. (c) Evidence of tissue architecture loss, pyknotic cells, and nucleosomatic retraction on the granular cells of DG of the rat. (d) Evaluations carried out during the 19 days show minor damage caused by the neonicotinoid mixture administration.
