By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D.Jun 11 2023Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. Different types of nanomaterials have been used in neuroscience, including two-dimensional nanomaterials widely known for their unique structures and physicochemical properties. In a recent Journal of Nanobiotechnology review, scientists discuss the applications of 2D nanomaterials in neuroscience.
Graphene, the first discovered 2D nanomaterial, comprises carbon atoms covalently bonded in a hexagonal lattice. Several functionalized forms of graphene-based nanomaterials have been developed, of which include carboxyl graphene, graphene oxide , and reduced GO . Neural repair and regeneration Related StoriesThe nervous system has a poor ability to regenerate axonal connections after injury or disease. In addition, it is difficult for drugs to reach damaged areas through the blood-brain barrier .
Graphene, coupled with other materials, forms heterogeneous structures that function as artificial synapses. For example, graphene/tantalum pentoxide/graphene phototransistor exhibits synapse characteristics visible under electromagnetic radiation.
