I’m having a hard time believing this one, considering it was only a few years ago that the Pittsburgh Compound was confirmed as the first successful chemical to cross the blood brain barrier. It was a big deal because this is the first step in being able to develop treatments to remove the plaque from Alzheimer’s brains.. you can’t remove the plaque if you can’t cross the barrier.

Now they are claiming that we’ve had random chemicals doing this all along???? I dunno, this sounds fishy to me.

I agree with you. Crossing the barrier has been something drug developers have been working on for the longest time.
