In this mini-Review was presented some of the most important and high impact developments within Neurophotonics. In this way, it was discussed about noninvasive and invasive techniques, and methods highlighting their different levels of information recorded. Thus, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Positron emission Tomography, and other non-invasive techniques were mentioned. As well, varied Optical Set-ups, Advanced Microscopy techniques, miniaturized instrumentation, Microdevices, and portable approaches were showed. In addition, with the perspective to develop Nano-tools to incorporate in these Optical Set-ups as well new ones, it was afforded to the discussion about the design and development of Nanophotonics and Nanomedicine approaches. Therefore, the generation of non-classical light combined with Multifunctional properties such as Drug delivery, and tissue regenerative therapies could be proposed. In this manner, as for example it was presented some examples developed by us as potential exalted smart Opto-active Nanoplatforms, Ultraluminescence Bioimaging, and targeted Light delivery. In the same way, it was showed different labelling techniques, using small Organic molecules, and Laser dyes; towards new reduced sized Nano-emitters and Meta-emitters. Thus, with a point of view from the Nano-scale it was discussed the Neuro-signaling tracking by Neuro-transmitters, Ions, as well as Neuro-peptides, and Neuro-proteins correlated with healthy/unhealthy status, and behaviours associated. In this manner, it was revised the main topics within the Nano-scale towards Nanophotonics and Neurophotonics approaches.
