Lithium can produce cognative deficits. By keeping glutamatergic neurotransmission in a very narrow range it may reduce stimulus evoked long term potentiation (learning).
This is not necessarily evidence of neurotoxicity.
The other thing is that GKS-3b inhibition produces differential effects on neuroplacticity depending on the phase of development.
