摘要
Nanomaterials at the neural interface can provide the bridge between bioelectronic devices and native neural tissues and achieve bidirectional transmission of signals with our brain. Photoactive nanomaterials, such as inorganic and polymeric nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanowires, nanorods, nanosheets or related, are being explored to mimic, modulate, control, or even substitute the functions of neural cells or tissues. They show great promise in next generation technologies for the neural interface with excellent spatial and temporal accuracy. In this review, we highlight the discovery and understanding of these nanomaterials in precise control of an individual neuron, biomimetic retinal prosthetics for vision restoration, repair or regeneration of central or peripheral neural tissues, and wireless deep brain stimulation for treatment of movement or mental disorders. The most intriguing feature is that the photoactive materials fit within a minimally invasive and wireless strategy to trigger the flux of neurologically active molecules and thus influences the cell membrane potential or key signaling molecule related to gene expression. In particular, we focus on worthy pathways of photosignal transduction at the nanomaterial–neural interface and the behavior of the biological system. Finally, we describe the challenges on how to design photoactive nanomaterials specific to neurological disorders. There are also some open issues such as long-term interface stability and signal transduction efficiency to further explore for clinical practice.
