The Brain Barriers Virtual 2020 (BBV2020) seminar series provides a forum for all brain barrier scientists world-wide to come together online during the current global crisis. The seminar series is free for anyone to attend, and we are excited to provide a platform for speakers to present their work and for the community to participate and discuss brain barriers science from the safety of their home offices.

Seminars will be held via
ZOOM each Wednesday at:
· 12:00 PM EDT
· 9:00 AM PDT
· 6:00 PM CEDT

Free Participation.

We are pleased to announce that the official impact factor of FBCNS increased from 3.727 in 2019 to 4.470 in 2020.

Advances in in vitro modeling of the blood-brain barrier and neurovascular unit.

Our latest series address advances in in vitro modeling, including original research, reviews and commentaries (e.g. on future directions). Papers address the utility and limitations of such models in relation to BBB physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology.

CNS Fluid and Solute Movement: Physiology, Modelling and Imaging.

This series brings together papers focusing on all aspects of fluid movement in the brain, helping to address current controversies in an area of intense research and debate.

FBCNS is ranked in the top quartile of the Developmental Neuroscience, Neurology and Neuroscience subject categories, by SCImago Journal Rank.
