   -The era of specialization has reduced the level of interdisciplinary cooperation and consequently the ability for clinicians to appreciate the underlying connection among diseases.   -The era of specialization has reduced the level of interdisciplinary cooperation and consequently the ability for clinicians to appreciate the underlying connection among diseases.
   -The existence of a blood-brain barrier has been historically touted as a reason why microbes could not possibly have caused any number of neurological diseases. However, with the accumulation of additional evidence, this concept has progressively lost meaning.(({{pubmed>long:18604221}}))   -The existence of a blood-brain barrier has been historically touted as a reason why microbes could not possibly have caused any number of neurological diseases.
