Provided are methods for protecting against or reducing 
neurotoxicity of 
exposure to a neurotoxic agent, comprising administering an electrokinetically altered aqueous fluid as provided herein in an amount sufficient to provide for 
neuroprotection against the neurotoxic agent, preferably where protecting against or reducing loss of 
motor coordination in the subject exposed to the 
neurotoxin is afforded. In certain aspects, protecting or reducing 
neurotoxin-mediated 
neuronal apoptosis is afforded, and / or activating or inducing at least one of PI-3 
kinase and Akt 
phosphorylation in neurons is afforded. Preferably, administering the fluid comprises administering the fluid prior to 
exposure to the neurotoxic agent. Additionally provided are methods for preserving or improving 
motor coordination in a subject having a neurodegenerative condition or 
disease, comprising administering an electrokinetically altered aqueous fluid as provided herein in an amount sufficient to provide for preserving or improving 
motor coordination in the subject.
