A new study shows that when energy is depleted—such as during a stroke—neurons begin releasing glutamate in abnormal, self-amplifying bursts that can damage nerve cells.

Recent advances in neuroscience are revealing how glutamate dysregulation underlies conditions ranging from depression to schizophrenia, opening doors to novel therapeutic approaches that may ...
