About

I'm Jarred Younger, PhD and my full time job is to figure out fibromyalgia, ME/CFS, Gulf War Illness, Long-COVID, and other chronic pain and fatigue conditions. I use neuroimaging, clinical trial, and immune modulatory techniques to create new treatments and diagnostics. I am posting a video every week to keep everyone up to date on my lab's work and important news from other research groups. I hope you are able to follow along the research journey. Thanks! Jarred

Video Description

Here are new positron emission tomography (PET) results showing abnormal microglia activation in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). The study was funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Brain images come from the Harvard Whole Brain Atlas: https://www.med.harvard.edu/aanlib/cases/caseNA/pb9.htm - Jarred Younger
