[[File:Peter Behan.png|200px|right]] Professor '''Peter Oliver Behan''', (d. 31st August 2019),<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.heraldscotland.com/announcements/deaths/deaths/17881665.Peter_Oliver_Behan/ | title = Death Notices & Obituaries: Peter Oliver Behan | last = | first = | authorlink = | date = |website=heraldscotland.com|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=2019-09-09}}</ref> MD, DSc, FACP, FRCP, FLS, consultant neurologist, was one of the few [[myalgic encephalomyelitis|ME]] specialists working in UK in 1980s. He wrote the introduction to Dr [[Melvin Ramsay]]'s 1986 ''[[Postviral Fatigue Syndrome: The Saga of Royal Free Disease]]''. He was a patron to the [[ME Association]]. While appearing in part two (at 35 mins) of 2012 BBC Alba documentary [[Toxic Tiredness]], he describes [[mitochondrion|mitochondrial]] abnormalities and speaks of an "essential biochemical or molecular component to the illness which needs to be elucidated, and research should be along the grounds into these illnesses, rather than dealing with psychological talk-the-talk nonsense." He served as a medical advisor to [[CHROME]] (Case History Research on ME), a registered charity for severely disabled [[myalgic encephalomyelitis|ME]] patients. ==Notable studies== *1996, [[Enterovirus]] Replication and [[Chronic Fatigue Syndrome]]<ref>{{Cite journal | last = Features Submission | first = Haworth Continuing| date = Jan 1996 | title = Session IV|url=http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1300/J092v02n02_10|journal=Journal of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome|language=en|volume=2|issue=2-3 | pages = 81β86|doi=10.1300/j092v02n02_10|issn=1057-3321}}</ref> - [http://dx.doi.org/10.1300/J092v02n02_10 (Abstract)] *1996, Defective Dexamethasone Induced Growth Hormone Release in [[Chronic Fatigue Syndrome]]: Evidence for Cerebral Glucocorticoid Receptor Resistance<ref>{{Cite journal | last = Features Submission | first = Haworth Continuing| date = Jan 1996 | title = Session II|url=http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1300/J092v02n02_07|journal=Journal of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome|language=en|volume=2|issue=2-3 | pages = 69β72|doi=10.1300/j092v02n02_07|issn=1057-3321}}</ref> - [http://dx.doi.org/10.1300/J092v02n02_07 (Abstract)] *1996, [[Virus]]es and [[Chronic Fatigue Syndrome]]<ref>{{Cite journal | last = Gow | first = John W. | last2 = Behan | first2 = Peter O. | authorlink2 = Peter Behan | date = Jan 1996 | title = Viruses and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome|url=http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1300/J092v02n01_06|journal=Journal of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome|language=en|volume=2|issue=1 | pages = 67β83|doi=10.1300/j092v02n01_06|issn=1057-3321|via=}}</ref> - [http://dx.doi.org/10.1300/J092v02n01_06 (Abstract)] *1997, [[Parvovirus B19]] and [[Chronic Fatigue Syndrome]]<ref>{{Cite journal | last = Kerr | first = Jonathan R. | authorlink = Jonathan Kerr | last2 = Barrett | first2 = Ann-Marie | last3 = Curran | first3 = Martin D. | last4 = Behan | first4 = Wilhelmina M.H. | last5 = Middleton | first5 = Derek | last6 = Behan | first6 = Peter O. | authorlink6 = Peter Behan | date = Jan 1997 | title = Parvovirus B19 and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome|url=http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1300/J092v03n03_07|journal=Journal of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome|language=en|volume=3|issue=3|pages=101β107|doi=10.1300/j092v03n03_07|issn=1057-3321|via=}}</ref> - [http://dx.doi.org/10.1300/J092v03n03_07 (Abstract)] *1997, Possible Cell Membrane Transport Defect in [[Chronic Fatigue Syndrome]]?<ref>{{Cite journal | last = Watson | first = W.
