      I enjoy writing my discoveries and telling other scientist how to carry out similar experiments. We get brain injuries during an accident or by the loss of some functional parts of brain. When there are diseases like meningitis the brain is injured.
      The brain is protected from other parts of the body by a protective layer called the Blood-Brain Barrier. If there is disease then this barrier is destroyed and things can move from the body to the brain to lead to injuries in the brain
