Neurobiology of Infectious Diseases covers mechanisms underlying infectious diseases. It is divided into six distinct sections, beginning with the foundations of Neuroinfection. This section includes chapters on the role microbiota-gut-brain axis and specialized blood-neuronal barriers play in neurobiology of infectious diseases. The next three sections detail various bacterial infections, parasitic infections, viral infections, and fungal infections of the central nervous system. The last section reviews the proteins and other peripheral mediators that affect the central nervous system. Internationally contributed by experts in the field this book sets the foundation of neurobiology and infectious disease.Neurobiology is the study of cells of the nervous system and the organization of these cells into functional circuits that process information and mediate behavior. Current research is vital for determining pharmaceutical and medicinal treatments for neurological disorders, psychiatric disorders and diseases.

This volume details experimental research with applicable models to study physiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Chapters guide readers through the physiology of BBB, in vitro cell models to study the BBB, in vivo and ex vivo models to evaluate BBB, permeability, influx, efflux transportation, drug delivery through the BBB,  invasive and non-invasive imaging techniques to study BBB; and molecular biomarkers. In Neuromethods series style, chapters include the kind of detail and key advice from the specialists needed to get successful results in your laboratory. 

Authoritative and cutting-edge, Blood-Brain Barrier aims to ensure successful results in the further study of this vital field.
