Predicting Potential Treatment Targets for Fatigue in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Using Thalamic Seeding

Key Points

• This research aims to predict potential treatment targets for fatigue in chronic fatigue syndrome by assessing thalamic surface functional connectivity changes.
• Utilized thalamic-seeding for functional connectivity analysis
• Examined alterations in thalamic-surface connectivity in chronic fatigue syndrome patients
• Found significant associations between thalamic surface functional connectivity alterations and fatigue symptoms
• Provided a reference framework for identifying candidate cortical targets for future non-invasive brain stimulation studies
