The application of nanomaterials to current neuroscience promotes promising solutions that might be helpful for supporting neural tissue restoration and repairing lesions or defects of the central nervous system. A novel alternative is the apply of carbon nanoscale materials (CNMs) for creating scaffold and ensuring electrical signal transmission through the implant network. Due to the fact that carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/fibers (CNFs) have unique electrical properties, extraordinary mechanical properties, and have similar nanoscale dimension to neurities, they have been used to guide axon regeneration and improve neural activity as biomimetic implant for spinal cord reconstruction and regeneration [1-5].
