This volume details experimental research with applicable models to study physiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Chapters guide readers through the physiology of BBB, in vitro cell models to study the BBB, in vivo and ex vivo models to evaluate BBB, permeability, influx, efflux transportation, drug delivery through the BBB, invasive and non-invasive imaging techniques to study BBB; and molecular biomarkers. In Neuromethods series style, chapters include the kind of detail and key advice from the specialists needed to get successful results in your laboratory.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, Blood-Brain Barrier aims to ensure successful results in the further study of this vital field.
