nNOS(+) striatal neurons, a subpopulation spared in Huntington's Disease, possess functional NMDA receptors but fail to generate mitochondrial ROS in response to an excitotoxic challenge. [PDF]
, 2013 Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by severe neuronal loss in the cortex and striatum that leads to motor and behavioral deficits.

Lithium from mood stabilizer to putative cognitive enhancer [PDF]
, 2016 This study is the first to have demonstrated, by means of a highly sensitive test of visual memory, a potential hippocampus neuroprotective effect of lithium in patients with BD. Undoubtedly, other studies are needed to finally recognize lithium as a

Inhibition of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier protects from excitotoxic neuronal death. [PDF]
, 2017 Glutamate is the dominant excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, but under conditions of metabolic stress it can accumulate to excitotoxic levels.

Superoxide and Non-ionotropic Signaling in Neuronal Excitotoxicity
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020 Excitotoxicity is classically attributed to Ca2+ influx through NMDA receptors (NMDAr), leading to production of nitric oxide by neuronal nitric oxide synthase and superoxide by mitochondria, which react to form highly cytotoxic peroxynitrite.

Ambient but not local lactate underlies neuronal tolerance to prolonged glucose deprivation [PDF]
, 2018 Neurons require a nearly constant supply of ATP. Glucose is the predominant source of brain ATP, but the direct effects of prolonged glucose deprivation on neuronal viability and function remain unclear.

GABA Receptor Agonists Protect From Excitotoxic Damage Induced by AMPA in Oligodendrocytes
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 Oligodendrocytes are the myelin forming cells of the central nervous system, and their vulnerability to excitotoxicity induced by glutamate contributes to the pathogenesis of neurological disorders including brain ischemia and neurodegenerative diseases,
