Coffee consumption is linked to neuroprotective effects, but energy drinks do not necessarily produce the same effects.
See the technical phrasing
The neuroprotective effects associated with coffee consumption are not necessarily present in energy drinks.
Caffeine blocks a specific receptor in the brain that normally increases activity in a circuit that overstimulates dopamine-producing cells. When this receptor is blocked, the circuit becomes less active, which reduces the harmful overexcitation of dopamine cells and prevents their death.
