All very intriguing:

Not sure if this would end up being helpful to us or not. I suspect brain biomarkers in ME would end up being met with, "ah, but you get that in xyz as well". On the other hand, could conclusively prove ME was not various mental disorders. And obviously very helpful to all sorts of people with those illnesses anyway, not to be left at the mercy of the DSM.
