OK I I'd suggested the last blog was the last in the series but I've been keeping this under my hat.
Part I suggested that ME/CFS patients, if tested, might have a deficit in sensory gating (the brain's ability to efficiently process sensory information to discriminate between vital and trivial input).
Was I right?
I also suggested that ME/CFS might comprise 'sub-groups' of patients similar to ADHD which includes the hyperactive, inattentive and mixed types.
Is there any evidence for this?
Part V focuses on a large but largely under-reported Japanese study that investigated information processing, autonomic function and higher level brain function in childhood 'CFS' with pretty shocking results.

Type I - “their higher nervous system has deteriorated as demented subjects were previously reported to have longer P300 latencies”]
they do suggest that these young patients may have a learning dysfunction and also highlight the potential that these children may subsequently be (or may have been) diagnosed with inattentive type ADHD.
Type II - The ‘Wired and Tired’ Group “their nervous system has an abnormal, hypersensitive reaction: a nervous state”.
They further suggest that these patients may be at risk of later developing ‘psychiatric’ conditions such as anxiety disorders.
