An example of anthropomorphism and metaphor in popular science writing:
"The writings from the nineteenth century, familiar to John, suggested that lithium would seek out every organ, seeping into every cell and across the blood-brain barrier, that Great Wall of China, which separated the brain from blood. And it was the brain that was lithium's final target."
de Moore, G., & Westmore, A. (2016). Finding Sanity. John Cade, lithium and the taming of bipolar disorder. Allen & Unwin.
