    Open White Matter Evaluation with Stanford University

    Researchers at Stanford University have discovered that the brains of patients with ME display abnormalities in the white matter within the right hemisphere. It is crucial to further the research involved with these findings as they may lead to more definitive diagnoses of ME. Who: Dr. Montoya...

    How the brain plays a role in rheumatoid arthritis inflammation

    I thought this was interesting, particularly given Younger's upcoming study on neuroinflammation in ME, and also for the possibility of a future breakthrough in treatments for RA that could potentially be of relevance to ME. Any thoughts, @Jonathan Edwards? The article...

    Power Causes Brain Damage

    This article is from last year, and focuses on business and political leaders as examples, but I couldn't help thinking it must also apply to at least some of those who become powerful in medicine and academia. It offers another insight into how people can do the things they do. Emphasis...
