CPEU Course Description
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) separates the central nervous system (CNS) from the peripheral tissues. In order to maintain homeostasis in the CNS, the BBB controls material, nutrients, and cell transfer from the blood to the brain and from the brain to the blood. This CPEU course discusses the crosstalk between physical exercise and BBB permeability.
