Neuroprotection is a novel perspective for the treatment of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s,
and Huntington’s disorders that lead to neurodegeneration and disabilities as a result
of deterioration of neurons due to apoptosis, oxidative stress, excitotoxicity, and other mechanisms. Since these mechanisms have implications not only for neurodegenerative disorders, but also for schizophrenia, mood and cognitive disorders, a synthesis of findings from neuroscience and clinical research across these disorders is warranted.
