Scopolamine promotes neuroinflammation and delirium-like neuropsychiatric disorder in mice

Abstract Postoperative delirium is a common neuropsychiatric syndrome resulting a high postsurgical mortality rate and decline in postdischarge function. Extensive research has been performed on both human and animal delirium-like models due to their clinical significance, focusing on systematic inf...
