Popis: The effective nature of the blood-brain-barrier (BBB) frequently precludes pharmacotherapy or requires the use of invasive procedures to bypass the BBB and deliver the drugs directly into the cerebrospinal fluid or brain parenchyma. While this method may be acceptable for the treatment of acute, lif...
