Network integrating the potential neuroprotective effects of lithium in neurons. Thus, activation of Akt by lithium suggests that neuroprotective effects of this drug are also probably due to modulation of downstream targets of Akt such as Bad, FOXO, CREB, and NF‐κβ. Furthermore, lithium inhibits directly GSK‐3β and modulates NMDA receptor.
