Indian Scientists Create Nanomaterial Enabling Brain Cell Activation Without Surgery

Unlike current treatments such as deep brain stimulation, which require surgery, g-C₃N₄ naturally interacts with neurons by generating tiny electric fields that open calcium channels, promoting cell growth and connectivity. Acting like a smart switch, it activates only during the neuron’s resting state to prevent fatigue. This breakthrough offers promise for non-invasive therapies targeting neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Researchers believe it could revolutionize neuromodulation and advance futuristic brain-computer technologies. Further human studies are underway to confirm safety and effectiveness.
