Abstract
Open AccessNeuroprotection is well known for its strategies and interventions that help preserve the structure and function of neurons during a myriad of neurological challenges. It is fundamental in managing the complex relationship between neuroinflammation and obesity, both of which are significant factors affecting our neurological health. In the present review, we try to merge nanoparticles with artificial intelligence (AI) to tackle the neurological implications of both conditions. This review summarizes prior studies of free radical-scavenging nanoparticles: polymeric, liposomal, ceria-based, and quantum dots, and evaluates their reported efficacy in attenuating markers of neuroinflammation and neuronal dysfunction in preclinical models. We have also discussed AI applications, such as predictive modeling and real-time monitoring, stating that they present a complementary role in themselves. There is recognition that the promise of nanoparticles in mitigating neurological problems underscores the potential of AI in upgrading neuroprotection. Early-phase clinical trials of free radical-scavenging nanoparticles have highlighted the importance of patient stratification to optimize personalized treatment regimens. Furthermore, we advocate coordinated efforts in education, awareness, and research to integrate scientific findings, public policy, and technology innovation, thereby holistically addressing neuroinflammation and obesity at the individual level.
