What are the Clinical Implications of Toxin-Induced Disruption of Inhibitory Neurotransmitters?
The clinical implications are diverse and depend on the specific neurotransmitter and toxin involved. Disruption can lead to acute symptoms such as seizures, ataxia, and altered mental status. Chronic exposure may result in neurological disorders, cognitive deficits, and motor dysfunction. Understanding the mechanisms by which toxins disrupt inhibitory neurotransmission is crucial for developing effective treatment strategies.
