I wasn't sure that I was going to find this interesting. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The different results seen in the healthies based on whether they had their eyes open or closed could plausibly explain why people with ME/CFS seek dark rooms (or use eye patches) to rest.

Interesting, but some things are unclear from the article. How exactly does the PFC suppress the SNS? Norepinephrine, the major mediator of the SNS innervates the PFC and increases behavioral control over subcortical structures. So this seems counterintuitive to me. Acetylcholine is the major mediator of the ANS, but does not innervate the PFC.
