 +Light restriction is often important.  Even if patient has no obvious symptoms of light sensitivity, exposure to strong or fluorescent light may affect brain for somme days, sometimes starting a few days after exposure.

 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. An increasing number of studies show microbes persist in the brain and affect health. 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.

 +The brain immune system, which consists mainly of astrocytes, microglia and infiltrating immune cells, is quiescent normally, but it is activated in response to pathophysiological events such as ischemia, trauma, inflammation and infection.  (({{pubmed>long:    16125796}}))

 + Mast cells are located in close proximity to the vasculature, and vasoactive mediators released upon their activation can promote endothelial activation leading to blood brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction.  (({{pubmed>long:    30837844}}))

 The surprisingly high compositional variation in gut bacteria across individuals stands in stark contrast to the small amount of genetic diversity uncovered in the sequencing of our human genomes.(({{pubmed>long:21485746}})) Differences in our microbial communities may thus be one of the most important factors in differences in the metabolites that individuals extract from similar diets. The surprisingly high compositional variation in gut bacteria across individuals stands in stark contrast to the small amount of genetic diversity uncovered in the sequencing of our human genomes.(({{pubmed>long:21485746}})) Differences in our microbial communities may thus be one of the most important factors in differences in the metabolites that individuals extract from similar diets.
