A community-focussed journal, Fluids and Barriers of the CNS provides a dedicated platform to share research encompassing all molecular, physiological, pathological and pharmacological aspects of brain fluids and barrier systems and their roles in neurological disorders. Affiliated with the International Brain Barriers Society (IBBS) and the International Society for Hydrocephalus and Cerebrospinal Fluid Disorders (ISHCSF), the journal provides high quality and constructive peer review. Members of both societies are also eligible for a 25% discount when publishing with us.

Background As an alternative to advection, solute transport by shear-augmented dispersion within oscillatory cerebrospinal fluid flow was investigated in small channels representing the basement membranes located between cerebral arterial smooth muscle cells, the paraarterial space surrounding the vessel wall and in large channels modeling the spinal subarachnoid space (SSS). Methods Geometries...

The blood brain barrier (BBB) is the main barrier that separates the blood from the brain. Because of the BBB, the drug concentration-time profile in the brain may be substantially different from that in the blood. Within the brain, the drug is subject to distributional and elimination processes: diffusion, bulk flow of the brain extracellular fluid (ECF), extra-intracellular exchange, bulk flow of...
