<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a means for preventing death of neurons that is one main cause of various nervous disorders from acute injury to long-term degeneration, and for elongating the life of neurons. Ž<P>SOLUTION: The invention discloses a method of protecting neurons in mammals from injury-induced pathological changes and a method of treating neuronal damage in mammals, by administering artemin or its agonist, which is unexpectedly and completely free of harmful side-effects (particularly hyperalgesia) associated with administration of neurotropic factors (for example NGF) in many cases.
