Overview
The study of electronic properties of materials at the nanoscale has unveiled physical laws and generated materials such as nanoparticles, quantum dots, nanodiamonds, nanoelectrodes, and nanoprobes. Independently, large-scale public and private neuroscience programs have been launched to develop methods to measure and manipulate neural circuits in living animals and humans. Here, we review an upcoming field, NanoNeuro, defined as the intersection of nanoscience and neuroscience, that aims to develop nanoscale methods to record and stimulate neuronal activity. Because of their unique physical properties, nanomaterials have intrinsic advantages as biosensors and actuators, and they may be applicable to humans without the need for genetic modifications. Thus, nanoscience could make major methodological contributions to the future of neuroscience and, more generally, to biomedical sciences.This Perspective discusses how neuroscience can benefit from harnessing nanoscience-based tools for manipulating and recording neuronal activity.
