In many neurologic disorders, injury to neurons may be causedat least in part by overstimulation of receptors for excitatoryamino acids, including glutamate and aspartate. These neurologicconditions range from acute insults such as stroke, hypoglycemia,trauma, and epilepsy (Table 1) to chronic neurodegenerativestates such as Huntington's disease, the acquired immunodeficiencysyndrome (AIDS) dementia complex, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,and perhaps Alzheimer's disease (Table 2)1,2,3.
