Subcellular analysis of blood-brain barrier function by micro-impalement of vessels in acute brain slices

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) tightly and dynamically regulates exchange with the brain. Here, the authors report a brain slice approach to study the native BBB in a highly controlled manner by combining intravascular perfusion and multiphoton microscopy.
