Summary

This volume focuses on contemporary approaches for delivering experimental and therapeutic agents into the brain. The contributions provide methodological details that are typically not available in the literature. Subtleties and shortcuts critical to each procedure are included to facilitate their use by both the experienced researcher and novice. Highlights * Polymeric, cellular, and molecular drug delivery * Neuropharmacology * Blood-brain barrier * Central nervous system
