Is a neurotoxin an endotoxin?
Neurotoxins damage nerve cells. I believe that an endotoxin can be a neurotoxin, but a neurotoxin is not necessarily an endotoxin. Kinda like lead is a neurotoxin but a neurotoxin is not necessarily lead. An excitoxin is neurotoxin since exitotoxins damage nerve and glial cells. Endotoxins and exotoxins have to do with bacteria and if they cause nerve damage they would be considered neurotoxins.
