A compromised paraventricular nucleus within a dysfunctional hypothalamus: A novel neuroinflammatory paradigm for ME/CFS, 2018, Mackay, Tate.
This is my theory of ME/CFS.
The PVN is involved in physiological stress responses, as evidenced in this old study:
The hypothalamic–neurohypophysial system regulates the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis under stress: An old concept revisited
Mario Engelmanna, Rainer Landgrafb, Carsten T. Wotjakb
(will find link)
The study found that vasopressin release was the differentiating factor between psychological and physiological stress.
My theory is that the “perpetuating psychological factors” of CFS are not psychological at all, because of the part of the brain involved.
