Increase in BBB permeability post LIFU is transient and affects accumulation of drugs/tracers within the brain in a size dependent manner. AC Time of drug/ tracer administration post LIFU significantly affects brain accumulation of tracers for AIB, TxRed and Cs Blue respectively. Peak BBB permeability is observed when tracer is administered before sonication or 6-h post-sonication. D Significantly higher brain accumulation is observed when tracer is administered on-board or pre-sonication vs when it is administered immediately post sonication. Increase in BBB permeability is influenced by size of administered tracer. (p < 0.01)
