This paper reviews 3D bioprinting technologies and Bio-inks materials in brain neuroscience applications. The integration of 3D bioprinting technology in neuroscience research offers a unique platform to create complex brain and tissue architectures that mimic the mechanical, architectural, and biochemical properties of native tissues, providing a robust tool for modeling, repair, and drug screening applications. The review provides discussions and conclusions to highlight the current research, research gaps and recommendations for the future research on 3D bioprinting in neuroscience. The investigation shows that 3D bioprinting has a great potential to fabricate brain-like tissue constructs, holds great promise for regenerative medicine and drug testing models, offering new avenues for studying brain diseases and potential treatments. It is also found that the future of bioinks requires continuous improvement and innovation to meet the needs of applications in the field of neuroscience, aiming to improve the functionality and performance of bioink materials for neural tissue engineering.&#xD.
