Description
Recent research into the anatomy and pathophysiology of the blood-brain and blood-spinal cord barriers suggests that a breakdown in these
barriers can result in several diseases affecting the central nervous system (CNS). This book presents new findings in the area of blood-brain
barrier research that suggest barriers play important roles in health and disease conditions. It also discusses the development of new
drugs that can modulate the barrier function in the CNS and may provide new approaches to treating neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's
disease and other motor neuron diseases, as well as spinal cord trauma.
Audience
Researchers in neuroscience, drug discovery and development, and neuropathology.
