drug-induced neuroprotection

Drug-induced neuroprotection refers to the use of medications or compounds that help protect nerve cells in the brain from damage or degeneration. These drugs can work by reducing inflammation, preventing cell death, or promoting repair processes in the nervous system. This approach is especially important in conditions like stroke, neurodegenerative diseases (such as Alzheimer's), and injuries to the brain or spinal cord. By safeguarding neurons, these therapies aim to preserve cognitive function and overall brain health, potentially improving outcomes for individuals facing neurological challenges.
