Aroclor 1254, a commercially produced mixture of polychlorinated biphenyls, is known to cause many adverse conditions, including neurotoxicity. It has been recently postulated that upregulation of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) and enhanced glutamate signalling which leads to excitotoxicity, is the mechanism
