Neurotechnology, The Most Complex Industry

The last few decades have repeatedly been described as "the time of biotechnology» and neurotechnology is a field that has been growing rapidly, with numerous neurotechnology companies to make their entrance in the market. It is a complex industry, with a significant technological contribution in various fields of modern society such as health, nutrition, energy, and quality of life. Also huge investments take place globally in the fields of education, research and biotechnology applications.

Neurotechnology is a scientific field that is defined as any technology that has a fundamental effect on how people understand the brain and various aspects of consciousness, thought as well as higher grades brain functions. In addition, it includes technologies that have been designed in order to improve and restore brain function, allowing researchers and clinicians to visualize the brain. Today's possibilities of biotechnology include, among other things, the expression of the human genome, the study of the molecular structure of genetic diseases, the prenatal testing, the synthesis of human biological agents that used to treat serious diseases, gene therapy, synthesis of biological agents of the food chain, even construction nanomolecules that store information. Indeed, research in the field of neuroscience has a long way to go and a variety of applications, some of which are still being developed in a purely experimental environment, while some others have already been set in practical application.
