| Abstract | Blood-brain barrier (BBB) has long been known to impede the delivery of therapeutic and diagnostic agents into the central nervous system. Although ultrasound with microbubbles has been shown to disrupt the BBB, we presently examine another ultrasound-induced mechanism for opening of the BBB: ultrasound induction of spreading depression. In this process, local physical changes induced by the ultrasound pressure field, increase regional $[K^{+}]_{o}$ concentration to the point of depolarization, thus initiating an oscillation process known as auto-waves or Leao spreading depression that propagates through the nerve tissue causing reversible depression of spontaneous neuronal activity. Cortical spreading depression (CSD) was induced in the brain of 18 rats by focused ultrasound (FUS) exposure (frequency: 4.89 MHz) through both the skull window (n=13) and the intact skull (n=5). CSD was also induced by application of 4 muL of 2%KCl to the cortex (n=10). Electrical activity of the cerebral cortex (ECoG) was recorded by using implanted electrodes. Occurrence of the CSD was verified through the depression of the ECoG high-frequency activity in a gamma band (>20 Hz). Five to seven CSD's were initiated in each animal at the first day (electrode implantation) and induced repeatedly 1-7 days later. The CSD induced by both FUS and KCl was associated with BBB disruption detected by a leakage of trypan blue IV injected 18-20 hours after the last induced CSD. This result suggests that the FUS-induced spreading depression can be used for non-invasive BBB disruption in targeted locations. This disruption may be useful for targeted drug delivery in the brain. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
