Like flooding the engine with too much fuel!

In the brain, glutamate can be thought of as glue inside synapses that solidifies the bonds between adjacent neurons to create thoughts and memories or stimulate actions. Glutamate levels fluctuate naturally with our sleep-wake cycle, and they can sometimes get out of whack. When brain cells make too much glutamate, it can become toxic and gum up the works, much like too much glue in a crafts project.
