As we reach the midway point of #TripleGivingTuesday, I’m thrilled to share with you the details of promising research at the Harvard ME/CFS Collaboration intended to open up an unprecedented treatment option to alleviate brain fog.
“Brain fog” often makes an affected individual’s life miserable and extremely challenging. To find interventions to reduce brain fog, identify neuroinflammation, and find out where specifically in the brain these problems begin, it’s necessary to employ brain imaging of the highest quality.
In collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), our team at the Harvard Collaboration will use advanced neuroscience facilities at MGH for brain imaging of people with ME/CFS. Researchers expect to see microglial activation, or neuroinflammation, in those brain images.

My personal (unpopular) opinion, they will find bupkis but may try to make their data fit the theory.
I suspect the brain issues are caused by whatever active process causes the energy deficit.
