Recent developments in research related to nanoparticles in neuroscience necessitated the establishment of a new discipline known as 'nanoneuroscience'. In order to understand the possible role of nanoparticles in the development of neurotoxicity or their potential use in neuroprotection, nine top experts across the world in this newly developing discipline were invited to present their cutting edge research in the 7th annual meeting of the Global College of Neuroprotection & Neuroregeneration in Stockholm, Sweden. The new developments suggest that more research is needed to understand the potential use of nanoparticles in nanomedicine. Highlights of these presentations are summarized in this article.
