Permeability of the windows of the brain: feasibility of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI of the circumventricular organs

Abstract Background Circumventricular organs (CVOs) are small structures without a blood–brain barrier surrounding the brain ventricles that serve homeostasic functions and facilitate communication between the blood, cerebrospinal fluid and brain. Secretory CVOs release peptides and sensory CVOs reg...
