The blood-brain barrier (BBB) enables the central nervous system to maintain a unique extracellular environment. Breakdown of the BBB is reported in numerous neurological diseases. However, consequences of BBB breakdown and its possible involvement in pathogenesis are not known. In my thesis I investigated the molecular and physiological consequences of BBB opening and the immediate and delayed effects on cortical function and structure. As part of my thesis we established a rat model for focal, long lasting BBB disruption by in-vivo application of bile salts to the sensory-motor neocortex. We showed that penetration of serum albumin into the brain’s extracellular space initiated a damage cascade resulting in chronic cortical hyperexcitabil...
