Nanomedicines are nanoscale, biocompatible materials that offer promising alternatives to conventional treatment options for brain disorders. The recent technological developments in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), are transforming the nanomedicine field by improving disease diagnosis, biomarker identification, prognostic assessment and disease monitoring, targeted drug delivery, and therapeutic intervention as well as contributing to computational and methodological developments. These advancements can be achieved by analysis of large clinical datasets and facilitating the design and optimization of nanomaterials for in vivo testing. Such advancement offers exciting possibilities for the improvement in the management of brain disorders, including brain cancer, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis, where early diagnosis, targeted delivery, and effective treatment strategies remain a great challenge. This review article provides an overview of recent advances in AI-based nanomedicine development to accelerate effective and quick diagnosis, biomarker identification, prognosis, drug delivery, methodological advancement and patientspecific therapies for managing brain disorders.

Keywords: artificial intelligence, Brain Disorders, deep learning, nanomaterial, machine learning, Nanomedicine
