Quotes About Excitatotoxicity

Magnesium is believed to reduce the brain damage sustained during a stroke by reducing the massive amount of excitatotoxicity that is associated with this event. Not only does magnesium help in this context, high magnesium consumption is believed to confer a degree of protection against stroke

glutamate and calcium are not inherently toxic, only becoming so when there is excessive activation leading to excitatotoxicity. This ability of magnesium to prevent excitatotoxicity is not just limited to gradual long term problems either. Magnesium is believed to reduce the brain damage sustained during a stroke by reducing the massive amount of excitatotoxicity
