BBB= blood brain barrier.. This is in the blood vessels that go to
the brain, and keeps things out of the brain (viruses, bacteria, drugs, peptides like gluten etc). The BBB can become permeable with age or poor diet or poor intake of essential fatty acids like Omega-3s.
Lipophilic substances and small molecules like anesthetics and alcohol, will cross... and explain how we can become intoxicated.
