A summary of the presentations at the International Science Symposium on ME/CFS, 3-4 December 2010, Bond University, Queensland, Australia, prepared by Dr Ros Vallings of  the Associated New Zealand ME Society (ANZMES).

"This is just a fantastic survey of a really exciting Conference Down Under. Lots of new research, much of it directed at the immune system and the central nervous system. There are studies on the brain stem, autopsies, CNS inflammation, NPY, neurodegeneration..... Notice that the basal ganglia in the brain show up several times (this is not the first time)...The microglia are a hot topic in Fibromyalgia . Well done Australia!"
