If scientists are to be believed soon we could get some componds that would penetrate in to the walls of the brain cells and treat the depressed patients while give spectacular results. Studies have found that compounds in Crinum and Crytanthus, South African species of snowdrops and daffodils, are able to pass through the blood brain barrier, the defensive wall that keeps the brain isolated.
According to scientists from the University of Copenhagen, the wall is a major problem in treating brain diseases including depression because drugs are pumped out as quickly as they are put it. Research showed that nine out of ten compounds cannot penetrate the brain. But Professor Birgen Broden said the compounds from the South African flowers were able to pass through the barrier. If the break through takes shape then the famous poet sayings of William Wordsworth will prove right. (With inputs from internet-AW AarKay)
