Zinc concentration and (65)Zn uptake in the brain of rats fed zinc-deficient diet for 12 weeks were examined, based on a previous finding of the impairment of learning behavior by the zinc deprivation. Zinc concentrations in the brain, except for the hippocampal formation, did not decrease significa

## Abstract In humans, zinc deficiency is characterized by a broad spectrum of neurological clinical syndromes. It is known that vesicular zincβenriched areas of the brain, such as the hippocampus, are responsive to zinc deprivation, which may result in learning impairment. Recent findings show tha
Zinc deficiency in guinea pigs and chicks results in peripheral neuropathy. Slowed reassembly of brain microtubules in zinc deficient rats has been reported, and such a defect might explain the neuropathy. To investigate this possibility, growing guinea pigs, chicks, and rats were fed a low zinc die
Cell culture models have been extensively used for studies of bloodbrain barrier (BBB) function. However, most in vitro models fail to reproduce the peculiar physiological and morphological properties of in situ brain microvascular endothelial cells. A recently developed, tridimensional and dynamic
