Neuroprotection refers to strategies and interventions aimed at protecting the nervous system, particularly the brain and spinal cord, from damage and degeneration caused by various factors such as injury, disease, or toxins. This field of research focuses on developing methods to promote the survival and function of nerve cells, prevent further damage, and potentially restore lost function. Common approaches to neuroprotection include pharmacological agents, stem cell therapy, and lifestyle changes such as exercise and diet modification. Neuroprotective strategies may be applied in various neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke, and traumatic brain injury.
