Thanks @bobbler for your useful analysis. Here's a bit more: The Effort-Expenditure for Rewards Task (EEfRT) So, yes, Method in the Walitt et...
Yes, catechols were measured in the CSF. I get confused when sympathetic nerve function gets mentioned. But, just looking at Parkinsons patients...
There doesn't seem to be any analysis of that. It's possible that there isn't a sufficiently wide or reliable difference in severity among the...
Yes, me too. Except that the 2 day CPET differences in ME/CFS are still not entirely beyond question - a replication in a very well conducted,...
