Lithium is a well-established therapeutic option for the acute and long-term
management of bipolar disorder and major depression. More recently, based on
findings from translational research, lithium has also been regarded as a
neuroprotective agent and a candidate drug for disease-modification in certain
neurodegenerative disorders, namely, Alzheimer's disease (AD), amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis (ALS), and, more recently, Parkinson's disease (PD). The
putative neuroprotective effects of lithium rely on the fact that it modulates
several homeostatic mechanisms involved in neurotrophic response, autophagy,
oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial function. Such a wide range of
intracellular responses may be secondary to two key effects, that is, the
inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK-3?) and inositol
monophosphatase (IMP) by lithium. In the present review, we revisit the
neurobiological properties of lithium in light of the available evidence of its
neurotrophic and neuroprotective properties, and discuss the rationale for its
use in the treatment and prevention of neurodegenerative diseases.
