What are the Applications of Nanotechnology in Neurological Rehabilitation?
The applications are numerous and varied, including:
Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery: Nanoparticles can be engineered to cross the blood-brain barrier, allowing for the direct delivery of therapeutic agents to the brain. This can enhance the effectiveness of treatments for conditions like Parkinson's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease. Neural Interfaces: Nanotechnology can be used to create advanced neural interfaces that improve the communication between neural cells and external devices, aiding in the development of better prosthetics and brain-computer interfaces. Nanomaterials in Neuroprosthetics: These materials can be used to develop more effective and biocompatible neuroprosthetic devices, which can help restore lost functions in patients with severe neurological damage.
