Environ Health Perspect. 2006 Oct;114(10):1542-6.

OBJECTIVES: We exposed neonatal rats to daily doses of diazinon or parathion on postnatal days (PND) 1-4 and evaluated 5HT receptors and the 5HT transporter in brainstem and forebrain on PND5, focusing on doses of each agent below the maximum tolerated dose and spanning the threshold for cholinesterase inhibition: 0.5, 1, or 2 mg/kg for diazinon, and 0.02, 0.05, and 0.1 mg/kg for parathion.

In association with the effects on cognitive performance, neonatal parathion exposure elicited widespread abnormalities in indices of serotonergic (5HT) and cholinergic synaptic function, characterized by upregulation of 5HT (2) receptors and the 5HT transporter, deficits in choline acetyltransferase activity and nicotinic cholinergic receptors, and increases in hemicholinium-3 binding to the presynaptic choline transporter.

In adolescence (PN30), young adulthood (PN60) and full adulthood (PN100), we measured radioligand binding to 5HT (1A) and 5HT (2) receptors, and to the 5HT transporter in the brain regions comprising all the major 5HT projections and 5HT cell bodies.
