03  Profile

Who Maira Inderyas is

Maira Inderyas is a PhD candidate at the National Centre for Neuroimmunology and Emerging Diseases at Griffith University in Australia. She led a 7 Tesla task-fMRI study of brain connectivity in people with ME/CFS and Long COVID during cognitive fatigue, working with Professor Sonya Marshall-Gradisnik and colleagues.

She has said the scans show changes in brain regions that may contribute to memory problems, difficulty concentrating and slower thinking. Her publications cover neuroimaging in ME/CFS and Long COVID, and a systematic review of health-related quality of life in these conditions. She is based in Australia, so the organisation has no UK head office.

Verbatim

“The task, called a Stroop task, was displayed to the participants on a screen during the scan, and required participants to ignore conflicting information and focus on the correct response, which places high demands on the brain's executive function and inhibitory control.”
