[El ácido domoico] en dosis bajas, originaría trastornos gastroentéricos, pero en dosis más elevadas puede ocasionar una lesión grave a células cerebrales provocando síntomas neurológicos que incluyen la pérdida de memoria. El ácido domoico interrumpe la transmisión neuroquímica normal en el cerebro fijándose a los receptores de glutamato, hecho que causa mayor excitación de las neuronas y la rotura final de las células. Por esta razón, es una toxina nociva que puede provocar la muerte cuando se ingiere en dosis elevadas. 4, record 1, Spanish, - %C3%A1cido%20domoico
