What are the Clinical Implications of Excitotoxicity?
Understanding excitotoxicity has significant clinical implications. It has led to the development of therapeutic strategies aimed at reducing excitotoxic damage in neurological disorders. This includes the use of NMDA receptor antagonists and other compounds that modulate neurotransmitter release and function. Furthermore, identifying and mitigating exposure to environmental toxins that may cause excitotoxicity is a key public health strategy.
