This book provides an overview of the current applications of nanomaterials in brain diseases, and introduces several novel nanomaterials that have excellent potential in this field. During the last two decades, nanotechnology had matured significantly as it has transitioned from a bench-top science to an applied technology. However, the application of nanomaterials in basic and clinical neuroscience is still at an early stage, and understanding how the intrinsic properties of nanomaterials translate to complex biological responses is an area of intensive research. Part 1 of the book focuses on the principles and strategies of nanomedicine in the brain diseases, while part 2 examines the applications of promising nanomaterials for therapy and diagnosis in the brain. Together they offer a comprehensive picture of advances in nanotechnology and their successful use in treating brain diseases in the past 20 years.

The past two decades have seen a surge in the development and application of nanoparticles for biomedical uses, with a focused effort on engineering particles for ‘theranostic’ applications where diagnosis and disease treatment are possible using a single platform. Magnetic nanoparticles, in particular, are ideal candidates for this kind of multimodal action, given their potential use spans magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, magnetic hyperthermia and targeted drug delivery. This is due to unique properties their size bestows on them. Here, we examine these properties of magnetic nanoparticles and how they govern the particle efficacy for a desired application. Given the intimate link between synthetic approach chosen and subsequent properties, we will also discuss typical and emerging routes to magnetic nanoparticle preparation. We will, in detail, describe the uses of magnetic nanoparticles as diagnostic and therapeutic tools, with particular emphasis on their use as MR contrast agents and the most recent developments in targeted drug delivery. Finally, we will present an outlook for the future of these important materials.
