Abstract

Neuroscience

neurological disorders

nanomaterials

polymers

The advent of neurological disorders has taken place at an alarming rate over the past few decades. The primary challenge for the treatment and diagnosis of these neuropathies is to cross the blood–brain barrier (BBB). Nanomaterials are preferred over conventional treatments because of their nanometer range, which can interact at the molecular level with lesser adverse effects. Hence, nanomaterials can be beneficial in neuroscience because of their ability to cross BBB and compatibility for the neuronal tissues. Here, we are focusing on the neurological applications of carbon nanotubes, magnetic nanoparticles (NPs), dendrimers, nanospheres, gold NPs, liposomes, and utmost quantum dots. We have also summarized the utility and mechanism of all these NPs in the field of neuroscience, along with their prospects and approaches to avoid their substantial toxicity.
