So if large amounts of glutamte from MSG get into the brain, which it will in the areas that have no blood brain barrier, or in areas that have a defective blood brain barrier, then it can overstimulate brain cells. It has also been shown that when the blood glutamate level is high for a prolonged period that it will even seep past a supposedly intact blood brain barrier.
