Abstract

The neurological effect of the magnesium ion (Mg²⁺) has long been well recognized as a blocker of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. Recent reports indicate that Mg²⁺ plays an important role in brain disease and injury. Mg²⁺ deficiency causes severe brain function damage. Although the mechanism is unclear with respect to neurological functions, neuroprotective effects have been widely investigated. The neurological requirements of Mg²⁺ are still unknown, unlike those of Ca²⁺. The recent development of analytical technologies has made it possible to investigate the effect of Mg²⁺ in real time. This chapter discusses a wide variety of neurological effects induced by Mg²⁺ and includes fundamental and clinical research.
