ME Research UK is delighted to announce that we have awarded funding to Prof. François Jérôme Authier and colleagues for a new study assessing neurocognitive impairment in people with ME/CFS.
Cognitive problems are one of the most frequent and disabling symptoms associated with ME/CFS, and most people with the disease report memory and concentration difficulties.
Prof. Authier and his team plan to analyse data obtained from multiple neuropsychological and neuroimaging assessments conducted in people with ME/CFS, and in individuals with chronic fatigue but who do not meet diagnostic criteria for ME/CFS.
The researchers aim to establish a detailed picture of cognitive abnormalities in ME/CFS, and whether they correlate with morphological and functional changes in the brain.
