Summary
Exitotoxicity has been implicated in many neurological disorders incluing Alzheimer's and Huntington's disesaes. This toxicity can be inhibited by modulated intracellular copper levels. Here we will ascertain the therapeutic potential of strategies designed to increase cellular copper levels.
