"According to new research, astrocytes tune into and moderate the chatter between overactive neurons."

"Scientists found that noradrenaline, a neurotransmitter that can be thought of as adrenaline for the brain, sends one chemical message to neurons to be more alert, while sending another to astrocytes to quiet down the over-active neurons."

Could this effect be involved with ME's brainfog and/or lethargy? Does anyone here have observations about activities or events that should increase noradrenaline also affecting their ME symptoms?
