Predicting Cognitive Decline in MS Patients

Among adults with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) followed over 3 years, those with memory decline exhibited a larger drop in whole-brain volume compared to those with stable memory, suggest the findings from a recent study.

Thank you for finding and posting this, Tim.

Over the years during which I've had MRIs (about 1986 to about 2011), I've noticed that for the more recent ones, attention is being paid to brain volume--whether the brain is shrinking and by how much. In the earlier MRIs that wasn't ever mentioned. Maybe at the time it wasn't measurable. I have an impression that there have been considerable advances in MRI technology over the years.

SPMS diagnosed 1980. Avonex 2001-2004. Copaxone 2006-2009. Glatopa (glatiramer acetate = Copaxone) 12/20 - 3/19/24.
