Now the same scientists…

...at the Center for Infection and Immunity at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, have also identified a unique pattern of immune molecules in the cerebrospinal fluid of people with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) that provides insights into the basis for cognitive dysfunction – frequently described by patients as "brain fog" – as well as new hope for improvements in diagnosis and treatment.

Is this part of...

... the solution to what CFS is? 

“Researchers at the Center for Infection and Immunity at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health identified distinct immune changes in patients diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, known medically as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS) or systemic exertion intolerance disease. The findings could help improve diagnosis and identify treatment options for the disabling disorder, in which symptoms range from extreme fatigue and difficulty concentrating to headaches and muscle pain.”
