New aspects of fenestrated vasculature and tissue dynamics in the sensory circumventricular organs of adult brains
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) generally consists of endothelial tight junction barriers that prevent the free entry of blood-derived substances, thereby maintaining the extracellular environment of the brain. However, the circumventricular organs (CVOs), which are located along the midlines of the b...
