Intravenous injections of anti-tetanus serum, for example, fail to check tetanus once the poison gets into the central nervous system.

She called this block the "hematoencephalic barrier...
...around the barrier, thought Dr. Stern, why not inject medicines directly into the nerve centers in the brain? She first tried this dangerous experiment on dogs, got some astonishing results. Calcium solutions, injected into the blood stream in large doses, act as stimulants. When Dr. Stern injected a few drops of a calcium salt solution into a dog's brain, the effect was exactly opposite to the one expected: instead of being stimulated, the dog tottered, collapsed, in a few minutes fell fast asleep.
