Nanotechnology in Neuroscience and Neuroengineering

Neuroengineering concentrates on the progress of artificial devices and innovative materials to be functionally and structurally interfaced with the central nervous system (CNS). Presently, there is the expectation that materials science and nanotechnology will be capable to address these difficulties and lead to inventions at the level of the interfaces between artificial transducers/actuators and living cells. Nanoparticles can insert the BBB of in vitro and in vivo models; and therefore can be used to generate diagnostic devices as well as nano-enabled control systems that can neglect the BBB to promote conventional and innovative neurotherapeutic interventions such as drug therapy, gene therapy, and tissue reformation.
