- Pharmaceutical salts typically are more soluble and more rapidly soluble in stomach and intestinal juices than non-ionic species and so are useful in solid dosage forms. Furthermore, because their solubility often is a function of pH, selective dissolution in one or another part of the digestive tract is possible and this capability can be manipulated as one aspect of delayed and sustained release behaviors. Also, because the saltforming molecule can be in equilibrium with a neutral form, passage through biological membranes can be adjusted.

- Neuronal plasticity and changes thereof, have been attributed to many neurological diseases and disorders. For example, during development and in adulthood, changes in dendritic spine number and morphology (e.g., lengths, crossings, density) accompany synapse formation, maintenance and elimination; these changes are thought to establish and remodel connectivity within neuronal circuits. Furthermore, dendritic spine structural plasticity is coordinated with synaptic function and plasticity. For example, spine enlargement is coordinated with long-term potentiation in neuronal circuits, whereas long-term depression is associated with spine shrinkage.
