The present review outlines the latest advances in bio-organometallic ferrocene chemistry carried out on the brain. The brain has emerged as a key target and model for iron-loading by bioactive ferrocene-based compounds. This review focuses on the in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro experimental data using ferrocene compounds in the brain, and discusses recent findings regarding their mechanisms of action. It also provides an overview of the biomedical aspects of studying ferrocene derivatives. The objective of this mini-review is to show the potential of ferrocene-modified compounds for studying brain challenges.
