In the physiology and pathology of the nervous system, much attention is paid to the issue of the permeability of the blood-brain barrier. Along with the theoretical interest, this question is important for the practicing physician. If, on the one hand, a violation of the barrier leads to a disease of the nervous system, then, on the other hand, in diseases of the nervous system, it is often necessary to force the permeability of the barrier in one way or another in order to enable various medicinal substances (arsenic, mercury) to enter the cerebrospinal fluid
