What are the Challenges in Neuroprotection Research?
Despite the progress made, several challenges remain in neuroprotection research:
1. Complexity of the Nervous System: The intricate nature of neural networks makes it difficult to predict the outcomes of neuroprotective interventions. 2. Blood-Brain Barrier: Many potential neuroprotective agents struggle to cross this barrier, limiting their effectiveness. 3. Disease Heterogeneity: Neurological disorders are often heterogeneous, meaning that a single neuroprotective strategy may not be effective for all patients. 4. Long-term Efficacy: Ensuring that neuroprotective effects are sustained over the long term is a significant challenge.
