Antiseizure and neuroprotective effects of delayed treatment with midazolam in a rodent model of organophosphate exposure

Abstract

Exposure to organophosphates (OPs) and OP nerve agents (NAs) causes status epilepticus (SE) and irreversible brain damage. Rapid control of seizure activity is important to minimize neuronal injury and the resulting neurological and behavioral disorders; however, early treatment will not be possible after mass release of OPs or NAs.
