The Association has launched the first research institute without walls Read more about the news -- the concept -- and why it is groundbreaking! The Association released a press release through PRNewswire . Check out the media coverage that followed. Listen now or later to the one-hour discussion about CFS and CFS research by CEO Kim McCleary and scientific director Suzanne Vernon, PhD, archived now on WFAE's website. Christopher Snell has edited a five-chapter open access book, The Future of CFS Research .

The National CFIDS Foundation's Home Page
The Foundation's objective is to fund research to find a cause, expedite treatments and eventually a cure, as well as providing information, education, and support to people who have CFIDS (chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome also known as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and many other names).

What is ME/CFS? « ME/CFS Worldwide Patient Alliance
ME/CFS ( myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome ) is a highly misunderstood condition that is characterized by a range of neurological, endocrine, central nervous system, and immune system disruptions, often (but not always) accompanied by profound fatigue, pain, tenderness, cognitive dysfunction and loss of muscle power following physical or mental activity. Myalgic encephalomyelitis is classified as a neurological disorder by the World Health Organization (International Classification of Disease 10: G93.3). The cardinal symptom of ME /CFS is post-exertional neuroimmune exhaustion, a period of unwellness similar to the feeling experienced before a viral infection sets in.
For The Chronically Screwed...
As I mentioned earlier, it is Endometriosis awareness month. As deliberating as this illness is, I consider it to be the lesser of my evils as CFS/ME plays a much larger role in my life. However, it is still something that is obviously very close to my heart. I realise that Endometriosis created a lot of ‘firsts’ for me. It was the first sign that something was truly wrong with me. I developed CFS/ME within 6 months of first showing symptoms for Endometriosis.

Previous studies suggest central nervous system involvement in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), yet there are no established diagnostic criteria. CFS may be difficult to differentiate from clinical depression. The study's objective was to determine if spectral coherence, a computational derivative of spectral analysis of the electroencephalogram (EEG), could distinguish patients with CFS from healthy control subjects and not erroneously classify depressed patients as having CFS.

The temporal lobes are unique. These are the only regions of the brain that subserves personalized, subjective emotional and social experience and can store and recall this information from memory. The temporal lobes also contains the core structures of the limbic system involved in emotion and memory, the amygdala and hippocampus. The temporal lobe/limbic allocortex is responsive to complex auditory and visual stimuli (Binder et al., 1994; Gross & Graziano 1995; Nakamura et al. 1994; Nelken et al., 1999; Nishimura et al., 1999; Price, 1997; Rolls 1992; Tovee et al. 1994), comprehending, in humans, complex speech, and contains the highest density and the greatest diversity of peptides and neurotransmitters as compared to all other brain regions (Niewenhujs, 1985). Of all brain regions, only stimulation or activation of the temporal lobe or underlying limbic structures, gives rise to personalized, subjective, emotional, and sexual experiences (Gloor, 1997; Halgren, 1992).Kolb & Wishaw (1990) have identified eight principle symptoms of temporal lobe damage: 1) disturbance of auditory sensation and perception, 2) disturbance of selective attention of auditory and visual input, 3) disorders of visual perception, 4) impaired organization and categorization of verbal material, 5) disturbance of language comprehension, 6) impaired long-term memory, 7) altered personality and affective behavior, 8) altered sexual behavior. Selective attention to visual or auditory input is common with damage to the temporal lobes (Milner, 1968). Left side lesions result in decreased recall of verbal and visual content, including speech perception. Right side lesions result in decreased recognition of tonal sequences and many musical abilities.
