The ability of certain agents to provide protection against excessive glutamatergic neurotransmission is mediated in part by a BDNF dependant mechanism.
The protection afforded by lithium, for instance, is abilolished by a BDNF neutralizing antibody.
As such, drugs that enhance BDNF could provide a similar protection.
