neuroprotection

Neuroprotection refers to strategies or substances designed to protect nerve cells (neurons) in the brain and nervous system from damage. This can help prevent or slow the progression of neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, or stroke-related injury. Neuroprotective approaches may include medications, lifestyle changes, or therapies that reduce inflammation, oxidative stress, or excitotoxicity (cell damage caused by excessive nerve activity). The goal is to preserve brain function, maintain cognitive health, and improve quality of life by safeguarding neurons from damage or degeneration.
