GlossaryNeurotoxins

substances that harm or disrupt nerve cell function

Neurotoxins are substances that can damage, destroy, or impair the function of nerve cells (neurons). They can be found in various sources, including certain plants, animals (like snake venom), and industrial chemicals. Neurotoxins interfere with the normal signaling processes of the nervous system, which can lead to symptoms ranging from mild tingling to severe neurological damage or even death.
