Unfortunately it's not ME/CFS research, but I just had a study published in PNAS (although the methods could be applied to any neurological diseases with cognitive problems)

Dynamic network structure of interhemispheric coordination
http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2012/10/23/1216402109

I'm not cured or completely recovered by any means, but hopefully this offers some encouragement to other patients who just want to get back to their lives, work, careers, family and friends. I'm profoundly improved from a year ago (my worsening second year of illness) when I was completely house-bound and now I'm just grateful to be well enough to continue with my research.

Congratulations! Michael Gazzaniga has done wonderful work and it must be fascinating to be working with him. And it must be tremendously satisfying to you to be able to work productively again.

Wow - congratulations.

I read a lot of Gazzaniga's work in the 1980s as a Psych undergrad.

Research is great - I'm jealous (but very happy for you to be able to return to it - long may it continue).
