What Are Neuroprosthetics and How Are They Improved by Nanotechnology?
Neuroprosthetics are devices that replace or enhance the function of damaged neural systems. Nanotechnology improves these devices by:
Increasing Biocompatibility: Nanomaterials can reduce immune responses and improve integration with neural tissues. Enhancing Electrical Properties: Materials like graphene and carbon nanotubes offer better electrical conductivity, improving signal transmission. Miniaturization: Nanotechnology allows for the creation of smaller, more efficient devices that can be implanted with minimal invasiveness.
