Neuronal cell protection

\"Neuronal cell protection\" refers to generic biological mechanisms and pathways that prevent neuronal cell death or dysfunction, particularly under conditions of stress, disease, or injury. This encompasses processes such as DNA repair[2][6], antioxidant defense, regulation of cell survival and apoptotic pathways[8], preservation of synaptic integrity[1], and modulation of signaling pathways that support neural health and function[3][5]. It is a *descriptor of physiology or therapeutic strategy*, not a single molecule, protein, or receptor.
