Abstract

The Anatomy and Physiology of the Blood?Brain Barrier

Petra Horvat

The Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) is one of the most remarkable physiological interfaces in the human body, serving as a highly selective boundary between the circulating blood and the Central Nervous System (CNS). Its primary function is to maintain the brain's delicate microenvironment by regulating the movement of ions, nutrients, metabolites and immune cells while preventing the entry of toxins, pathogens and potentially harmful substances. neuroimaging and Advances in computational molecular neuroscience biology, have significantly expanded our understanding of BBB function, creating new opportunities for treating neurological disorders.
