The neuroprotective effects of Magnesium on Brain have been reported in experimental models of traumatic brain injury, cerebral ischaemia and acute subarachnoid haemorrhage. Magnesium on Brain reduces infarct volume in various animal models of embolic stroke. The mechanisms by which magnesium protects include the reduction of presynaptic release of glutamate, blockade of NMDA receptors, smooth
