Abstract
The decade of the 90s, although proclaimed by the US Congress as “the decade of the brain,” might better be known as “the decade of the mitochondrion.” A spontaneously emerging concept, “mitochondrial genetics” has become a distinct scientific field addressing various brain and muscle disorders associated with mutations of the mitochondrial DNA (1). At the same time, an interaction between mitochondrial insufficiency and excitotoxicity in aging and neuronal diseases has been postulated (2,3).
