Study links Gulf War sickness to brain damagehttp://www.mindfully.org/Health/Gulf-War-Sickness-Brain.htm Memory problems, chronic fatigue and other mysterious ailments afflicting thousands of Gulf War veterans may be linked to chemical damage to parts of their brains, a team of Texas researchers has found. For years, those who questioned the validity of so-called Gulf War Syndrome have wondered how people suffering the same illness could have such disparate symptoms. The findings by a team led by Dr. Robert Haley of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas could provide an answer. The team did brain scans on 12 very sick and 18 healthy veterans and found the sick ones had damage to three areas of their brains. The damage to the right-side basal ganglia appeared to cause memory lapses, impaired sense of direction, and depression, while damage to the left basal ganglia seemed to cause general confusion, including difficulties understanding instructions, reading, solving problems and making decisions, the researchers found. Damage to the brain stem accounts in part for vertigo attacks and loss of balance, the researchers said. They said they believed the damage was caused by exposure to combinations of low-level nerve gas, anti-nerve gas tablets, pesticides and DEET-containing insect repellents. However, they acknowledged there was no conclusive link.

He claims the Ministry of Defence has admitted that as many as 9,000 British service personnel could have been exposed to it. But Lord Morris believes it could be many more. A congressional hearing in Washington has heard that many coalition troops were exposed to hazardous gas when one of Saddam Hussein's chemical dumps was bombed.

For years the federal government has pointed to stress as the likely reason for the sicknesses. But Veterans Affairs Secretary Anthony Principi said the VA will set aside up to $15 million for a year of Gulf War illness research and none of the money will be used to pay for studies that propose stress as the only explanation for the ailments.
