We're raising funds to pay for #MEcfs brain scanning in a dual MR-PET machine using the [11C]-PBR28 ligand. This will let us look for glial activation (neuroinflammation) in brainstem. These scans cost $5,980 each (incl. indirects).

(We've set a goal of paying for 5 scans, which will be enough to use for pilot data in applying for more funding to finish a well-powered study. If someone with a lot of resources wants to fund the whole study, contact me.)

Michael have you checked out the new Baraniuk paper? I am sure your study would provide further insight, in the right direction. Best of luck iwth fundraising, will be sharing.

I have! Well, downloaded but have not yet carefully read. We're about to start an exercise-challenge study that uses fMRI. Still waiting for approval.
