SCULPTOR AND DESTROYER book preview part 2 - Destroyer

In this episode I preview the book SCULPTOR AND DESTROYER’S coverage of the involvement of glutamate as a ‘destroyer’ of neuronal circuits and people’s lives in epilepsy, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, depression, schizophrenia and other neurological disorders. I also talk about the central roles of the neurotransmitter glutamate in the actions of drugs of abuse, psychedelics, and of drugs used to treat neurological disorders. This episode also describes a chapter that considers how people can influence their glutamatergic systems in ways that optimize brain performance and protect against neurological disorders.
