Does this relate to the brain areas Montoya advised were affected?

We don't tend to think of ME/CFS as a disorder of direct damage to white matter, but we are collecting the same kind of data ('fractional anisotropy') in our current scans.

For people like me who didn’t know
“Fractional anisotropy (FA) is a useful measure of connectivity in the brain”
