The excitotoxicityproduced by abnormal levels of glutamate is thought to be responsible for neuronalcell dysfunction and the eventual cell death observed in Alzheimer's disease namenda new medication for dementia. Namenda is thought to selectively block the excitotoxic effects associated withabnormal transmission of glutamate, while allowing for the physiological transmissionassociated with normal cell functioning. |
