THE BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER IN CLINICAL DISEASE

Abstract
Alterations of BBB [blood-brain barrier] function have been shown to be important in determining convulsive reactivity, in cerebral concussion, and presumably in many other disease processes of the CNS. Studies with poliomyelitis-like viruses suggest BBB may play secondary as well as primary roles of importance in the patho-physiology of disease. 66 references.
