A substance or antibody that counteracts or neutralizes a neurotoxin, a poison that damages the nervous system.
From 'anti-' (against) + 'neurotoxin' (from Greek 'neuron' + Latin 'toxicum' meaning poison). This term emerged in pharmacology and toxicology as antidotes were developed.
Antineurotoxins like antivenoms for snake bites contain antibodies that specifically bind to neurotoxins and prevent them from damaging nerves—it's like having biological bodyguards that recognize and neutralize poison.
