Metabolism of neurotoxin in brain tissue

Damage to cells in the central nervous system has effects which are potentially serious. since brain cell repair slowly if at all. Because neurons are very energy-demanding anything which reduces the supply of ATP will cause death in long term, this can occur when compounds which are themselves toxic, or which can be converted to neurotoxin, block normal metabolic pathways. Using neural cell culture.

The aim to determine the effects of some nerotoxin and its derivative on different area of the brain.
