Definition
| Ubiquitous, primary neurotransmitter is the eye, brain, and spinal chord |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| When neurons stop producing ATP, pumps that maintain resting membrane potential stop functioning. Calcium floods cells, and calcium causes release of glutamate which floods brain and spinal chord. Flooding calcium results in overproduction of enzymes which break down lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. This is related to ALS and Alzheimer's |
