Limbic Encephalopathy

The Zinn's proposed a "limbic encephalopathy" - a brain disorder concentrated in the lower regions of the brain - was present.

Dr. Bateman echoed that idea noting that the Japanese had found inflammation in the lower part of the brain, and that a Rhomberg test - an indicator of deep brain issues - is often positive in ME/CFS/FM.

Then she noted a bevy of hormones including ADH (vasopressin) are produced in the lower part of the brain. With his functional or structural brain abnormalities Miwa appears to be positing that this area is producing the low blood volume, and perhaps the vein problem in ME/CFS.</p>
