SOMATIC INJURY PRECEDES DISTAL ATROPHY FOLLOWING EXCITOTOXIC HIPPOCAMPAL INSULT

Excitotoxicity can lead to increases in intracellular Na+ and Ca2+ concentrations via the glutamatergic NMDA receptors, which can lead to cell death. Detailing the time-dependent degradation of neuronal components in response to excitotoxic challenge may help elucidate the sequence in which these si...
