Abstract
Nanotechnology (NT) is presently adopting as a tool in a number of industries, ranging from manufacturing to health care. Due to their unique physicochemical features, nanomaterials have become increasingly appealing as nanotechnology advances. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) among all the nanotechnology have excellent properties. Because of superior physicochemical qualities and capacity to interface with neuronal circuits, they show enormous potential as viable candidates in the field of nanomedicine for generating innovative solutions for central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Researchers have taken advantage of CNTs due to their remarkable physical qualities and ability to interface with different tissues. In this chapter, we have emphasized CNT's role in treating diseases related to neurology. We have also described different studies related to CNTs affecting CNS that deliver a wide-ranging overview of historical and enduring research in this arena, emphasizing the target achieved, interactions with brain cells, tissue, and toxicity.
