The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is located within a unique anatomic interface and has
functional ramifications to most of the brain and blood cells. In the past, the BBB was …

A wind of change characterizes epilepsy research efforts. The traditional approach, based
on a neurocentric view of seizure generation, promoted understanding of the neuronal …

The blood–brain barrier (BBB), a unique anatomical and physiological interface between the
central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral circulation, is essential for the function of …

The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a dynamic and complex system which separates the brain
from the blood. It helps to maintain the homeostasis of the brain, which is essential for …

This article introduces the special issue on “Blood–Brain Barrier and Epilepsy.” We review
briefly current understanding of the structure and function of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) …

During the past several years, there has been increasing interest in the role of the blood–
brain barrier (BBB) in epilepsy. Advances in neuroradiology have enhanced our ability to …

Epilepsy is a neurological disease with variable etiology and clinical manifestation, affecting
more than 50 million people worldwide. Although the ultimate precipitators of seizures are …

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder generally defined to be caused by excessive
neuronal activity. Thus, excessive neuronal activity is the main target of the currently used …

The role of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in epilepsy has evolved from an obstacle for drug
brain delivery to an etiological factor contributing to seizures. Recent evidence has shown …

Status epilepticus is often associated with endothelial dysfunction and increased vessels
permeability. We discuss here the direct role of blood–brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction in …
