    Scientists isolated a protein (JAM-1) located in the brain. They discovered the protein trapped white blood cells.

    Once trapped the blood cells could cause inflammation, obstructing blood flow leading to poor oxygen supply to the brain which, in turn,trigger the condition that raise blood pressure.
