A century ago, significant physiolgical function of Erithropoietin was discovered. More recently, it has been working on its obtention by a recombinant via for application in patients presenting with acute and chronic anemia, from different afections. This type of therapy improves undoubtedly, life quality of these patients. From 1998, neuroprotective properties of Erythropoietin were retorted for  the first time, and we performed studies corroborating it b y means of use of bran damage model, both, in vitro and in vivo. Present studies are designed to elucidate deeply  action mechanisms by which Erythropoietin  shows its neuroprotective properties and to obtain a appropriate bioavailability of molecule for a accurate application in therapeutics of bran afections. Present paper collets updated information on Erythropoietin as a neuroprotective agent, and refers to continuity of studies for its application in clinic.
