“Israeli scientists tweak brains to cause illness, gaining psychosomatic insights”

Terribly written summary (see comment below)…

I’d replace all instances of psychosomatic with the term neurologic.

I believe this could be very promising research with respect to a possible underlying mechanism in me/cfs. I hope some researchers become aware of it.
