Reihe: AAPS Introductions in the Pharmaceutical Sciences

The book covers recent advances in the field of CNS therapeutics, including opportunities posed by expanding basic knowledge related to CNS conditions  and novel approaches for efficient drug delivery to the brain (e.g., pharmaceutical nanocarriers and transporter- and transcytosis-mediated drug delivery to the brain inhibition of the blood-brain barrier). Chapters dealing with state-of-the-art in silico and in vitro tools for predictive purposes related to CNS bioavailability are also be included.

This is an ideal book for undergraduate students and graduates in the field of medicine and pharmaceutics, and professionals working in the field of brain disorders.
