Anti-excitotoxic
Buffers nerve cells against glutamate-driven excitotoxicity
Shields neurons from over-stimulation by glutamate and calcium overload — the excitotoxic cascade behind stroke and neurodegeneration.
Anti-excitotoxic is a sub-action of neuroprotective. Where neuroprotective protects nerve cells from damage, anti-excitotoxic is its narrower, more targeted form.
