The composition exhibits remarkably excellent prevention or treatment effect of neurodegenerative disease by containing longan arillus extract or combined extract comprising longan arillus, and particularly, it may effectively prevent or treat neurodegenerative disease by significantly protecting dopaminergic neurons from neurotoxicity due to MPTP selectively acting on dopaminergic nervous system and neurotoxicity due to aggregation of alpha-synuclein proteins.
