• Thimerosal (TM) significantly affects mitochondrial bioenergetics in the brain.
• Mitochondrial integrity (membrane potential) was maintained after acute TM treatment.
• Ethylmercury released after the breakdown of TM compromised the cholinergic system.
• The brain is more sensitive to oxidative stress induced by TM compared to the liver.
