Doctors say a silent 'mini-stroke' may explain your constant fatigue see press release American Academy of Neurology: Neurology Resources | AAN research paper: Long-Term Fatigue Following Transient Ischemic Attack | Neurology

Hello. I am new to here and have an interest in critiques of Functional Neurological Disorder. I knew that three "positive" rule-in signs were tremor entrapments, Hoover's sign, and psychogenic seizures, but I also found a table that listed positive signs you will see in the table linked below...

Emerging Subspecialties in Neurology: Women’s Neurology Hayley F. Thornton,, Sara C. LaHue, Riley Bove, Janet Waters, Mary A. O’Neal, Esther Bui The influence of sex and gender on neurologic disease has become increasingly recognized in science and medicine. This is evident across a woman’s...

BBC How I rewired my brain in six weeks There is growing evidence that simple, everyday changes to our lives can alter our brains and change how they work. Melissa Hogenboom put herself into a scanner to find out. "It's surprisingly hard to think of nothing at all", is one of my first...

SARS-CoV-2 infection and viral fusogens cause neuronal and glial fusion that compromises neuronal activity https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adg2248 Abstract Numerous viruses use specialized surface molecules called fusogens to enter host cells. Many of these viruses, including the...

Here is the link to the event on the website of the AAN. And here you can check out the abstracts of the topics that are going to be presented. I typed in ME/CFS keywords but couldn't find anything, however, the word covid brings up plenty of abstracts. I haven't really gone through all of...

Full title: Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on clinical autonomic practice in Europe A survey of the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) and the European Federation of Autonomic Societies (EFAS) Abstract Objective To investigate the impact of the coronavirus-disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic...

Pre Print: The pernicious danger of cortical brain maps Benjamin Yost Hayden The parcellation of the primate cerebral cortex into numbered regions, based on cytoarchitecture, began with the pioneering research of neuroanatomist Kobrinian Brodmann. While the borders between regions have...

Diagnostic approach in adult-onset neurometabolic diseases Gorka Fernández-Eulate, Christophe Carreau, Jean-François Benoist, Foudil Lamari, Benoit Rucheton, Natalia Shor, Yann Nadjar Abstract Neurometabolic diseases are a group of individually rare but numerous and heterogeneous genetic...

:emoji_warning: At this point it's still a preprint. Abstract: As most of you know, in the 80s researchers were excited about several (and separate) finds of retroviral activity in what we now call ME/CFS patients. The main researcher was Elaine DeFreitas, whose finds got dismissed by UK...

https://osf.io/ef3n4/ The newsbrief posting reminded me that this paper wasn't mentioned. I think it may be a pretty important hypothesis for ME's root cause. It fits what I believe is the root cause of ME: that neuroglia are involved. I'm not sure whether there are any ME symptoms that...

Abstract The biopsychosocial model was defined by George L. Engel to propose a holistic approach to patient care. Through this model, physicians can understand patients in their context to aid the development of tailored, individualized treatment plans that consider relevant biological...

Performed detailed molecular and spatial analysis of the COVID-19 brain immune response Pathognomonic microglial nodules and T cell infiltration are present in COVID-19 brains Altered microglia-T cell interactions correlate with systemic measures of inflammation Vascular leakage is linked with...

(Line breaks mine for legibility) Many patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection develop neurological signs and symptoms, though, to date, little evidence exists that primary infection of the brain is a significant contributing factor. We present the clinical, neuropathological, and molecular findings...

Since late 2019, the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has introduced a wide array of health challenges globally. In addition to a complex acute presentation that can affect multiple organ systems, increasing evidence points to long-term sequelae being common and impactful. As the worldwide...

(Paragraphed for clarity) Although post-acute cognitive dysfunction and neuroimaging abnormalities have been reported after hospital discharge in patients recovered from COVID-19, little is known about persistent, long-term alterations in people without hospitalization. We conducted a...
