Don't know why this wasn't thought of before now. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-51363582 From the article:

Google publishes largest ever high-resolution map of brain connectivity (Jan 2, 2020) by James Vincent - The Verge It’s a fruit fly brain, but it’s still impressive .

This is an article of a paper that is yet to be published. View here. There is much more to the article, discusses a trial with growth hormone. BIAFAC stands for brain injury associated fatigue and altered cognition. It makes me wonder, how many of us had a genuine concussion prior to...

If those numbers are reliable this is a borderline epidemic level crisis. Nearly 1/5 of the UK population reporting significant cognitive symptoms interfering with daily life but are typically brushed off by medicine. The worldwide numbers would place this at above 1B. That's staggering...

Preliminary but interesting. Autism has been researched far more than ME and somehow this had been missed entirely. I would really like to see research done on post-mortem ME brains and spinal cords. This is the reason the researchers named this disease and there doesn't seem to have been any...

An interesting light read article : https://www.quantamagazine.org/to-pay-attention-the-brain-uses-filters-not-a-spotlight-20190924/ Anyone find their attention prone to wandering?

I seem to have weeks going into months of brain inflammation which is horrendous. My brain feels inflamed which at night particularly seems to go throughout my body, some of the day as well. The feeling is deeply uncomfortable and quite excruciatingly painful with some throbbing, spreads across...

Split from this thread. @Forbin I was reading up on vestibular exhaustion. Interesting how managing it is similar to PEM avoidance. "If you have a chronic vestibular disorder, you probably struggle with fatigue that may rob you of your spontaneity. When you’re feeling well, you may...
