Description

Located at the interface between blood and the brain, the blood-brain barrier is a dynamic permeability barrier formed by a continuous layer of specialized endothelial cells endowed with important permeability, transport, and regulatory functions that both protect the internal milieu of the brain and allow essential nutrients to be transported into the brain. Abnormalities of the blood-brain barrier are increasingly recognized as a key component in the pathogenesis of a range of primary diseases of the brain and the secondary involvement of the brain from pathological processes in other organs.

Reviews

The fifth edition of The Cognitive Neurosciences continues a remarkable tradition of chronicling the advances in cognitive neuroscience and presciently anticipating the future. From techniques to perception, memory to language and consciousness to social relevance it hits all of the important bases in an authoritative manner. It should be the go-to resource for those interested in cognitive neuroscience from the outside or for insiders curious about developments beyond the scope of their own research.
