• TsTX increased extracellular glutamate levels in the hippocampus after intracerebral injection.
• Extracellular gamma-aminobutyric acid and glycine were not significantly altered after TsTX injection.
• Riluzole pretreatment blocked TsTX-induced neurodegeneration in hippocampal pyramidal cells and electroencephalographic alterations.

• No direct concept-to-concept edges are published yet.
