Cognitive deficits in CFS have
been reported in many studies. At a conference the cognitive problems
in CFS was compared to mild to moderate degree of Alzheimer's Disease, Scholey et al., 1999. Accelerated
brain gray matter loss in FM patients: Premature aging of the brain?, kuchinad.etal07.txt. Head/ Brain Injury
Head injury, surprisingly is
more serious to women:
Kraus et al., 2000. Head injury can cause Alzheimer's disease in
animals, news, brain injury, 1999. A comparative study on
attention deficit in CHI (closed head injury), was performed in Visual Problems in CFS/FM
Also visual problems arise with
CFS, Mastropascua et al., 2000. Neuropeptides
One very important area of research
is that of neuropeptides. News Dec. 1999 refer
to the discovery of the molecule BDNF which "bridges" between
stress and brain chemistry (serotonin),
news, BDNF, 1999. An Indian study of ME patients defined by
"Wessely-criteria" found disturbed brain chemicals in blood and a
majority of right hemisphere domination in patients, Kurup & Kurup, 2003 Kurup & Kurup, 2003 (pdf). Cerebrospinal Fluid
