Australian scientists find impaired brain waste disposal system may drive chronic fatigue syndrome

Australian researchers suggest a malfunctioning brain waste disposal system may drive Chronic Fatigue Syndrome symptoms. This preliminary study used MRI scans to observe impaired glymphatic function, the brain's cleaning system, in ME/CFS patients, particularly in the right hemisphere. The findings, published in Frontiers in Neuroscience, could lead to better diagnosis and future treatments for the condition, which affects millions worldwide.
