Advantages of nanotechnology in clinical neuroscience. Nanotechnology has the potential to restrict or reverse neuropathological disorder mechanisms at the molecular scale, as well as promote and assist other methods. A Nanoengineered scaffold (neural conduit) includes functional nanoparticle components that imitate the extracellular matrix to offer a physical and bioactive microenvironment for neural regeneration. B Techniques including focused ultrasound or osmotic (mannitol) shock have been used to temporarily open the BBB and allow nanoparticles to enter the cells to facilitate the transportation of medications through nanomaterials
