Excitotoxic Cell Damage
Excitotoxic Cell Damage
Excitotoxic cell damage occurs when nerve cells are overstimulated by excessive release of the neurotransmitter glutamate. This process, often associated with neurological disorders, leads to an influx of calcium ions into the cells, triggering a cascade of events that result in cellular damage and death. Excitotoxicity is implicated in conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, and neurodegenerative diseases. Understanding and mitigating excitotoxic cell damage are crucial for developing therapeutic interventions aimed at preserving neuronal function and preventing the progression of related neurological disorders
