Neuroprotective Intervention

Meaning

A Neuroprotective Intervention is any therapeutic strategy, compound, or lifestyle modification specifically designed to preserve the structure and function of neurons and glial cells, shielding them from damage induced by acute injury, chronic oxidative stress, inflammation, or excitotoxicity. These interventions are clinically applied to slow the progression of neurodegenerative processes and maintain long-term cognitive and motor function. The goal is to enhance the brain’s intrinsic resilience mechanisms and minimize neuronal loss over the lifespan. This proactive approach is foundational to neuro-longevity protocols.
