Recently I've been finding a lot of studies suggesting Fibromyalgia may be caused by a dysfunction of the hippocampus. The hippocampus plays a crucial role in the bodies regulation of pain, memories and sleep. Stress also plays a huge role in the function of the hippocampus, and when stressful events occur our bodies release glucocorticoid hormones, specifically cortisol. I'm trying to understand more about the causes of Fibromyalgia specifically in relation to the function of the hippocampus. Anyone else out there researching this or have any information? Thanks
