Neuroprotection Mechanisms

Meaning

Neuroprotection Mechanisms encompass the endogenous biochemical and structural safeguards employed by the nervous system to prevent neuronal injury, maintain synaptic integrity, and support long-term neural viability against excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, or ischemia. Understanding these pathways is central to mitigating age-related cognitive decline. We look for ways to bolster these inherent defenses.
