Modeling and simulation of the central nervous system provides a tool for understanding and predicting the distribution of small molecules throughout the brain tissue and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), and these efforts often rely on empirical data to make predictions of distributions to move toward a better understanding. A physiologically based pharmacokinetic model presented here incorporates multiple means of drug distribution to assemble a model for understanding potential factors that may determine the distribution of drugs across various regions of the brain, including both intra- and extracellular regions. Two classes of parameters are presented.
