Breathing, Feeding, and Neuroprotection examine the functional significance of the blood – brain barrier as an interface of blood and the central nervous system; other chapters look at health and disease in relation to the hypothalamic and limbic systems.

Breathing, Feeding, and Neuroprotection will be an invaluable reference for researchers in neuroscience and related fields.
