**Preface to "Neuroprotection: Rescue from Neuronal Death in the Brain"**

The brain is located on the top of our body and plays a role as the control tower of our body. Thanks to the brain, we can interact with our environment easily and effectively. In the brain, however, cell death occurs naturally and/or due to various types of injury. In order to maintain the normal functions of the brain, the protection of the brain against cell death is very important.

This Special Issue on the "Neuroprotection: Rescue from Neuronal Death in the Brain" is to present the updated knowledge on the mechanisms of neuroprotection and the developments of therapeutics on cell death in the brain. The research fields covered in this Special Issue include stroke, ischemia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, memory deficit, seizure, oxidative injury, neurotoxic injury, signaling pathways, nanomedicine, trophic factors, antioxidants, phytochemistry, and so on.

This Special Issue brings together a collection of 19 papers which highlight the mechanisms underlying neuroprotection and therapeutics on neuronal death. I would like to thank all the authors for their outstanding contributions and the editorial staff members for their assistance.
