excitotoxicityä
Excitotoxicity is a process in which nerve cells or neurons are damaged and killed by the overactivation of their own receptors, leading to an excessive influx of ions, particularly calcium and sodium, into the cell. This process is often associated with neurodegenerative diseases, brain injuries, and stroke.
Excitotoxicity is typically caused by the overrelease of excitatory neurotransmitters, such as glutamate, from neurons. These
The process of excitotoxicity is complex and can involve multiple cellular and molecular pathways. It is thought
Research into excitotoxicity has highlighted the potential for novel therapeutic approaches to neurodegenerative diseases. Strategies aimed
