Neuroprotection refers to the mechanisms and strategies used to protect neuronal cells from damage, degeneration, or dysfunction. This concept is crucial in the context of histology, as it involves understanding the microscopic structures and cellular components of the nervous system. Neuroprotection aims to preserve the structure, function, and viability of neurons, particularly in the face of injuries or diseases such as stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease.
