The final population model. Vc, Vp1, and Vp2 are pharmacological volumes of distribution in central and two peripheral plasma compartments, respectively. Vbr1 and Vbr2 are volumes of distribution in central and peripheral brain compartment, respectively. CL, Q1, Q2, Qin, Qout and Qbr are total body clearance, bidirectional clearance between plasma and peripheral compartment 1, bidirectional clearance between plasma and peripheral compartment 2, clearance into and out of the brain, and bidirectional clearance between central and peripheral brain compartments respectively. The plus-sign indicates an increase in affected parameter estimate, i.e. tariquidar co-administration increased peripheral plasma volume of distribution (Vp1), influx clearance to the brain (Qin) and brain volume of distribution (Vbr1), animal weight increased systemic clearance (CL), and the kainate treatment increased Vbr1.
