Abstract

Introduction. The need to maximize productivity with a view to greater profitability has led to the pressing need to use mechanisms to maximize agricultural production. In this context, agrochemicals have reached new heights and are now used in an unbridled manner. Exposure to agrochemicals is correlated with a variety of injuries, whether in the animal or plant kingdom. Glyphosate, a powerful herbicide responsible for removing weeds from plants, has been widely correlated with various pathologies, and more recently it has been observed that it has the ability to cross the hematopoietic barrier and thus cause alterations to the structures of the nervous system. Objective. To review the existing literature outlining the damage caused to neurological tissue by exposure to glyphosate. Method. A systematic search was carried out in the PubMed, Science Direct and Medline databases, using the descriptors ''Brain'' OR ''Central Nervous System'' AND ''Glyphosate'' AND "Agrochemical". Original primary studies published between 2018 and 2023 were included. Articles that did not include the subject proposed for the study in the scope of the text were excluded. Results. The subject still needs further study, however, given the scientific evidence available, it is possible to infer that there is a direct and indirect correlation of injury to various structures of the nervous system. Conclusion. Neurological manifestations occurred frequently during the course of exposure
