[Osmotic opening of the hematoencephalic barrier in experiments. Review]
Abstract
This article describes the mechanism of osmotic opening of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) by intracarotic injection of a hyperosmolar agent (mannitol) and how to test the open BBB by intravital dyes, especially Evans blue.
