About the Course

This course is designed for advanced graduate students in neuroscience, pharmaceutics, and related fields of study. The course addresses delivery of compounds to the central nervous system (CNS) to activate proteins in specific brain regions can provide therapeutic benefit, often with reduced side effects relative to systemic delivery. This course provides a detailed description of the pharmaceutical and pharmacological issues specific to direct drug delivery to the CNS.

The spinal cord is a very active area of research in the Neuropharmaceutics interest area in terms of neuropharmacology, drug delivery, and neuropharmacokinetics (cerebrospinal fluid flow). The landmark opening at the midline (bottom of image) is the central canal. Green represents neurons (identified by the neuronal marker, NeuN). Blue color represents astrocytes (identified by the astrocytic marker, GFAP).
