Summary Introduction
To review:
The difference in the mechanism of blood–brain barrier (BBB) and blood–cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier.
Introduction:
The human brain is the most important and complex organ, involved in performing many day-to-day activities. BBB and blood–CSF barrier are the two predominant barrier systems involved in protecting the brain and spinal cord by creating a semipermeable block between the noxious elements and the brain.
