Brilliant. So far only a pilot study in rats, so fast food and other restaurants have nothing to worry about as of yet. Results: day and nighttime blood pressure was increased on high salt diet salt intake increased anxiety-type behavior in FBN rats salt intake increased cognitive impairment in FBN rats via OASIS.

Of interest as delta OR is also involved in anxiolysis. OASIS.

Physiologic stress probably does the same, so it’s not clear whether this is a medication adverse effect. Either way, if true it’s bad news for brain integrity (protection from antigens, inflammatory cytokines etc.). Migraine medication induces blood-brain barrier dysfunction via OASIS.  

I discovered edited versions of a popular article of mine on quality-centered (rather than upfront cost-savings centered) psychiatric diagnosis and treatment syndicated in several publications by the British International School. I guess it somehow leaked out of China. Either way, have a look. The issuu layout is stunning.
