The first thought that could probably agree Homeland Security and brain health, in fact, make a strange couple. However, not everything is as it seems that in at least one important aspect, which have much in common.Surprised? Let me explain … As you probably know, a key element of national security strategy is protecting the border. The purpose of border protection is to implement and apply a selection process whereby a country can determine who and what enters and leaves. Border protection is supported by a number of measures of physical barriers through technology.
So most sophisticated surveillance where it fits in brain health? Well, the brain also has a security strategy. I like to call the IT security Brainland. And the strategy also Brainland protecting border security as a key factor. In Brainland, border protection is mainly provided by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). In a similar purpose to protect the borders of the country, the BBB acts to select what goes in and out of Brainland. Do not you think it is remarkable similarity of these two strategies seem to have a protective effect? I hope so, because we're about to discuss in more detail .
.. 1) Security – the country's border protection1.1 The objectives of border protection are the following: * Do not leave ordinary people trying to enter without permission * Keep out of drugs * Avoid * Keep the smuggling of 'weapons to known terrorists and potential terrorists * In general, reduce the threat to people and Border Protection How infrastructures.1.2 may be compromised: * completely, health safety, bypassing the barrier – in, on, around the holes * Research Design * holes of corruption * * * * Creative Distraction hide Disguise .
.. examples.2 little) security Brainland – border protection2.1 brain function and purpose of the checkpoint of the brain, the BBB * allow selective entry of certain molecules that circulate in the blood in the brain. [a molecule is the smallest particle of a substance that still has the properties of matter] * Protecting the brain from invasion of various toxins and other harmful molecules .* Allowing a dangerous place for the protection of borders brain. 2.2 ¿Cómo puede ser el cerebro comprometida: Estos son sólo algunos de los científicos están estudiando formas y / o ensayo de poner en peligro el BBB .
* Usando para una bacteria engañar has the BBB para abrir una puerta y deje that between en el cerebro . * 'Attacks by Trojan horses "in which a drug is attached to a molecule that is authorized by the technical BBB .* focused ultrasound that alters the microwave pulses BBB * The use of radiation that can alter the permeability. * BBB using, health safety, nanoparticles: a) the proteins are, health safety, allowed through the BBB to some, since the function as carriers of nutrients.
Their relationship with the drug nanoparticles is one possible way to obtain drugs in the brain. b) The nanoparticles may be able to completely avoid the BBB using the olfactory system has direct access to brain.Okay, it is time to start drawing this stuff together … Let's start with the internal security people no doubt, smugglers, drug traffickers, terrorists and others spent much time and effort trying to find ways to breach the border security in a country. We are happy to accept that these activities are a potential threat to human safety and infrastructure of this country.
What's more … If these people are caught severely.All hope this seems reasonable based on the chaos and carnage we have seen, or personally experienced as a result, for example, a terrorist attack.But researchers Brainland, health safety, what about security? and pharmaceutical companies seem to spend a lot of effort and expense, without doubt, a lot of money trying to find ways to break the border Date brain protection.To think we're happy to accept that these actions are in the best interest of the brain and are greeted by (country) of brain cells (people) and circuits brain (infrastructure).
[Note: I used the words in parentheses to remind you that the parallelism between the homeland and border protection Brainland] In addition, if successful, researchers hope that this may seem rewarded.All reasonable if it was that really have no idea how to break the strong border protection of the brain
