ZF Blood-Brain-Barrier

[Donald O'Malley]

Hi Folks,

Does anyone know of information regarding the development of the 
blood-brain barrier in zebrafish?  We are specifically interested in its 
permeability at larval stages.  Any citations or anecdotal experience 
about what compounds get into the CNS at the 5 to 10 day PF stage 
would be welcome. [i.e. with bath application].   

Obviously MS222 does and I know that caffeine permeates larvae 
pretty quickly, but I don't know much more than that!  

Thanks,
Don
