Ruhrfisch comments: Thanks for your work on this interesting article; here are some suggestions for improvement.

• The lead should be an accessible and inviting overview of the whole article. Glia limitans working with the BBB is really in the article (the BBB is only mentioned once in the article)
• My rule of thumb is to include every header in the lead in some way, but FCMD and EAE are not in the lead that I can see. Please see WP:LEAD
• The lead is also supposed to be the most accessible part of the article to the non-expert, but this seems written at a pretty advanced level.
• There is one disambiguation link in the article that needs to be fixed, to Microvessel
• Article needs more references, for example the first paragraph of Location and structure has no refs, and there are several paragraphs with one or more sentences without a ref after the last ref.
• My rule of thumb is that every quote, every statistic, every extraordinary claim and every paragraph needs a ref. See WP:CITE and WP:V
• Avoid words like "Current" in Current research - the problem is that things can become out of date quickly. It is better to use date specific contstructions like "As of 2011...."
• The caption of File:Cerebellar cortex - intermed mag.jpg needs to make it clearer how this image relates to the glia
• Not much else to say - pretty good for a first article - thanks again!
• Please make sure that the existing text includes no copyright violations, plagiarism, or close paraphrasing. For more information on this please see Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches. (This is a general warning given in all peer reviews, in view of previous problems that have risen over copyvios.)

Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). I do not watch peer reviews, so if you have questions or comments, please contact me on my talk page. Yours, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 03:26, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
