Abstract Background: This study examined the regional distribution of glial activation in essential workers with neurological post-acute sequelae of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infections (N-PASC). Methods: We injected ≤185 MBq of [18F]-FEPPA as an intravenous bolus and...

Introduction: There is a growing interest in the effect of Long-COVID (LC) on cognition, and neuroimaging allows us to gain insight into the structural and functional changes underlying cognitive impairment in LC. We used multimodal neuroimaging data in combination with neuropsychological...

A unified model of ketamine’s dissociative and psychedelic properties Miriam Marguilho, Inês Figueiredo, and Pedro Castro-Rodrigues Abstract Ketamine is an N-methyl-d-aspartate antagonist which is increasingly being researched and used as a treatment for depression. In low doses, it can...

A quantified comparison of cortical atlases on the basis of trait morphometricity Anna E. Fürtjes, James H. Cole, Baptiste Couvy-Duchesne, Stuart J. Ritchie Abstract Background Many different brain atlases exist that subdivide the human cortex into dozens or hundreds of regions-of-interest...

Abstract The pathophysiology of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and Q fever fatigue syndrome (QFS) remains elusive. Recent data suggest a role for neuroinflammation as defined by increased expression of translocator protein (TSPO). In the present study we investigated neuroinflammation in female...

An interesting read given the past TSPO-PET neuroinflammation studies on ME using first generation [11C]PK-11195 and now more recently second generation [11C]DPA-713, the pros/cons and limitations of these radioligands, and the development of novel third generation ligands. Recent Developments...

Abstract Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a complex illness, which is often misdiagnosed as a psychiatric illness. In two previous reports, using 1H MRSI, we found significantly higher levels of ventricular cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lactate in patients with CFS relative to those with...

Dr Zack Shan (who has been working with the NCNED group at Griffith University, and is now based at University of Sunshine Coast) has been awarded a $1.2m grant to undertake an ME/CFS neuroimaging project. This is an NHMRC grant (NHMRC is the equivalent of NIH here in Australia), and it’s the...

Hello, Dr Elisha Josev is clinician-researcher at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, Royal Children’s Hospital, studying investigating short-term and long-term effects of paediatric ME and CFS (Jason et al definition) on brain structure and function...
