L-Quisqualic Acid is one of the most potent AMPA receptor agonists, causing excitotoxicity -- a process in which nerve cells are killed or damaged due to the overstimulation of neurotransmitters. It is also believed to mimic the excitatory neurotransmitter L-glutamic acid, which is studied in relation to insect neuromuscular function and the mammalian central nervous system.
Commonly used in neuroscience to deliberately kill brain and/or spinal cord neurons, L-Quisqualic Acid is also used to sensitize neurons to depolarization within the hippocampus (known as the "quis effect") -- which is the movement of a cell membranes potential, making it slightly more positive.
