Millisecond neural activation tracking Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has made profound contributions to our understanding of the human brain. However, limitations in the temporal and spatial resolution of the underlying signal have prevented this technique from providing...

Full title: Multimodal MRI of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome: A cross-sectional neuroimaging study toward its neuropathophysiology and diagnosis Introduction: Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), is a debilitating illness affecting up to 24 million...

Abstract Background Fatigue is a common and burdensome symptom in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), yet is poorly understood. Currently, clinicians rely solely on fatigue questionnaires, which are inherently subjective measures. For the effective development of future therapies and stratification, it...

Nelson T, Zhang LX, Guo H, Nacul L, Background: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a multisystem medical condition with heterogeneous symptom expression. Currently, there is no effective cure or treatment for the standard care of patients. A variety of ME/CFS...

Abstract Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is an illness characterized by a diverse range of debilitating symptoms including autonomic, immunologic, and cognitive dysfunction. Although neurological and cognitive aberrations have been consistently reported, relatively...

I tried looking to see if there’s already a thread for this couldn’t find one but my search skills are a bit ropey please delete if there is one http://www.bristol.ac.uk/cricbristol/research/fatigue-research/ Crawley and others at Bristol doing fMRIs on CFS and MS folks

The aim of this thread is to collect a list of brain imaging studies of ME patients, with links to threads on each study. We have in our library a thread by @Woolie that explains the different types of neuroimaging and what to look out for in assessing the quality of a study: Brain Studies of...
