Neurotoxic mechanisms of glyphosate exposure

Human exposure to pesticides is increasing, especially glyphosate‐based herbicides (GBH). Thus, it is of great interest to characterize whether glyphosate (Gly) exerts neurotoxic effects. Besides Gly, GBH formulations contain adjuvants, mainly POEA, a surfactant. We hypothesize adjuvants may enhance glyphosate neurotoxicity. Therefore, we aimed at investigating the neurotoxic properties of Gly and its adjuvants.
