Opening a Window to the Autistic Brain

At fi rst glance, the preschool classroom on the other side of the two-way mirror looks like any other—brightly colored rugs, scattered toys, and tiny chairs. But almost immediately an observer notices differences in the Team Toddle students here at the Neuropsychiatric Institute of the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) (Los Angeles, California, United States). A therapist instruct...

Reversible osmotic opening of the blood-brain barrier in mice.

Unilateral reversible osmotic opening of the blood-brain barrier can be produced in mice. Infusion of 1.8 molal arabinose in water at a rate of 0.64 ml/min for 30 seconds into the internal carotid artery consistently results in ipsilateral brain staining by intravascular Evans blue dye. Osmotic opening is concentration-dependent (threshold, 1.6 molal arabinose) and reversible within 4 hours. No...

Site-specific opening of the blood-brain barrier.

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) poses a significant impediment for the delivery of therapeutic drugs into the brain. This is particularly problematic for the treatment of malignant gliomas which are characterized by diffuse infiltration of tumor cells into normal brain where they are protected by a patent BBB. Selective disruption of the BBB, followed by administration of anti-cancer agents, repr...

Optimization of the Ultrasound-Induced Blood-Brain Barrier Opening

Current treatments of neurological and neurodegenerative diseases are limited due to the lack of a truly non-invasive, transient, and regionally selective brain drug delivery method. The brain is particularly difficult to deliver drugs to because of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The impermeability of the BBB is due to the tight junctions connecting adjacent endothelial cells and highly regulat...

Blood–brain barrier opening to large molecules does not imply blood–brain barrier opening to small ions

Neuroimaging of exogenous tracer extravasation has become the technique of choice in preclinical and clinical studies of blood-brain barrier permeability. Such tracers have a larger molecular weight than small ions, neurotransmitters and many drugs. Therefore, it is assumed that tracer extravasation indicates both permeability to these and the cancelation of the electrical polarization across t...
