Rick,
Sorry, I was not trying to post refs you have sent me, but I don't understand your post. You say the 2 papers are by the same author, but yours is by Monahan AJ, Warren M, Carvey PM. whilst mine is by BV Zlokovic
Paula, Hi,
Yes, I think you could carry out several trials to obtain evidence on the role of the BBB in PD. I understand the permeability of the human BBB can be measured in vivo, ie when the patient is living.!!
So why not measure the permeabilities of a range of PD patients from just diagnosed to advanced sufferers, ie say from 1 year to 20 years since diagnosis
Graph the results and see if you get a steady decline in the efficiency (increase in permeability) of the BBB as PD progresses.
Hi Lurkingforacure
Yes, I really must read Blaycock's book, I have read and heard a lot about it, He sounds to be on the ball
