Graphene has emerged as a highly promising nanomaterial for a variety of advanced technologies, including batteries, energy, electronics, and biotechnologies. Its recent contribution to neurotechnology is particularly noteworthy because its superior conductivity, chemical resilience, biocompatibility, thermal stability, and scalable nature make it well-suited for measuring brain activity and plasticity in health and disease. Graphene-mediated compounds are microfabricated in two central methods: chemical processes with natural graphite and chemical vapor deposition of graphene in a film form. They are widely used as biosensors and bioelectronics for neurodiagnostic and neurotherapeutic purposes in several brain disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, stroke, glioma, epilepsy, tinnitus, and Alzheimer's disease. This review provides an overview of studies that have demonstrated the technical advances of graphene nanomaterials in neuroscientific and clinical applications. We also discuss current limitations and future demands in relation to the clinical application of graphene, highlighting its potential technological and clinical significance for treating brain disorders. Our review underscores the potential of graphene nanomaterials as powerful tools for advancing the understanding of the brain and developing new therapeutic strategies.
石墨烯作为一种极具前景的纳米材料,已被广泛应用于各种先进技术,包括电池、能源、电子和生物技术。它最近在神经技术方面的贡献尤为值得关注,因为其卓越的导电性、化学稳定性、生物兼容性、热稳定性和可扩展性使其非常适合用于测量健康和疾病状态下的大脑活动和可塑性。石墨烯介导的化合物主要通过两种核心方法进行微制造:天然石墨的化学过程和石墨烯薄膜的化学气相沉积。它们被广泛用作生物传感器和生物电子设备,用于治疗多种脑部疾病,如帕金森病、中风、神经胶质瘤、癫痫、耳鸣和老年痴呆症。本综述概述了一些研究,这些研究展示了石墨烯纳米材料在神经科学和临床应用方面的技术进步。我们还讨论了当前的限制和未来的需求,与石墨烯的临床应用相关,强调了其在治疗脑部疾病方面的潜在技术和临床意义。我们的综述强调了石墨烯纳米材料作为研究大脑和开发新治疗策略的有力工具的潜力。
