Abstract

The subfornical organ (SFO) represents neuroglial circumventricular organ structures bordering the anterior third cerebral ventricle. Owing to the absence of the blood-brain barrier, the cellular elements of subfornical organ can be reached by circulating messenger molecules transferring afferent information and provide a good coding model of chemical information processing in the body.(omitted)
