Glutamate–GABA Balance and Excitotoxicity: From Synapses to Vulnerable Networks

Abstract

A clinician-facing review of glutamatergic excitation, GABAergic inhibition, glial buffering, and excitotoxic injury. It distinguishes robust calcium-linked mechanisms from broader, often overstated claims about glutamate and neurologic symptoms.
