Because if an event causes PD symptoms or exacerbates existing symptoms, it should, (according to the theory) widen the permeability of the Blood-Brain Barrier.

Ron,
You do not have to list citations; we all know you are quite knowledgable all things BBB. However, I don't have a scientific background. Do you think you might elaborate?
How does widening of the BBB and resulting permeability of tight junctions result in symptoms of PD?? Please forgive if you have posted before...maybe you could give us a little refresher on how they relate?
Thanks!
Laura
