Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Takako Joudoi"
- Recent research by Takako Joudoi focuses on childhood chronic fatigue syndrome (CCFS), investigating cognitive dysfunction, neural mechanisms of reward processing, and the relationship between fatigue and learning among school children.
- In various studies, Joudoi found that CCFS patients show impairments in attention allocation and neural activation, indicative of inefficient frontal cortex functioning, while also highlighting issues with low motivation related to reward sensitivity.
- Additional studies explored fatigue's impact on school children's learning and emotional wellbeing, revealing important links between effort-reward balance and fatigue, along with the predictive role of temperament on fatigue-induced symptoms during childhood.
