The brain's bodyguard service, hired before the robbery, not after.

means Strategies or mechanisms that shield nerve cells from damage, degeneration, or death — keeping the brain and nervous system intact in the face of injury, disease, or aging.

from A modern scientific compound, bolted together from 'neuro-' (Greek 'neuron,' meaning sinew or nerve) and 'protection' (Latin 'protegere,' to cover in front, to shield). The word itself is young — it rose with late-20th-century neuroscience, as researchers began chasing drugs and strategies to defend neurons from strokes, trauma, and diseases like Parkinson's before the damage became permanent. No myth here, just lab coats: it's a term built for grant proposals, not folklore.

timing
works best before damage, not during cleanup

antioxidants, cooling, exercise, sleep, less sugar
drug reality
most promising compounds fail in human trials
best proven method
therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest or stroke
