We also know in multiple sclerosis and other neurologic conditions, there's a. There's a blood brain barrier that has some impairment. So the brain is a barrier between the bloodstream and the brain, and things do get through. So it's hard for bacteria to get in the brain, for example, because if they did, we'd get meningitis, and that's pretty lethal. So blood brain barrier is important.

And this is not proven yet, but this, there may be a link between these bacteria that are opening up these pathway in the gut, allowing other bacteria to get through the gut and into the brain.
