Abstract
⺠Female mice were resistant to the dopaminergic and motor effects of paraquat. ⺠Females showed enhanced noradrenergic utilization with limbic areas. ⺠Paraquat moderately increased hippocamapal BDNF in females. ⺠Gender dimorphism exists for behavioural and neurochemical effects of pesticides.
