Neurotoxic effects of imidacloprid on a migratory songbird: Implications for brain development and migration
This research project investigates the neurotoxic effects of imidacloprid (IMI), a neonicotinoid insecticide, on the brain development and migratory abilities of a migratory songbird, the European starling (Sturnus vulgaris). IMI targets nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, potentially disrupting neurotransmission and impairing cognitive functions critical for migration. The study assesses the impact of IMI exposure on neurogenesis and glial cell morphology in the hippocampus, a key region for spatial memory, using immunofluorescence and 3D reconstruction techniques. The findings will provide crucial insights into the ecological consequences of pesticide exposure and contribute to the conservation of migratory bird populations.
