TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of MS pathology on brain networks, as assessed using MRI, and how these changes to brain networks translate into clinical impairments are discussed and how this knowledge can inform the targeting of MS treatments and potential future directions for research in this area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial Normalization and Regional Assessment of Cord Atrophy: Voxel-Based Analysis of Cervical Cord 3D T1-Weighted Images
TL;DR: In this article, a method for voxelwise statistical analysis of cord volume and the correlation between cord tissue loss and aging was developed and validated using 3D T1-weighted scans of the spinal cord.
Journal ArticleDOI
Searching for the neural basis of reserve against memory decline: Intellectual enrichment linked to larger hippocampal volume in multiple sclerosis
James F. Sumowski,James F. Sumowski,Maria A. Rocca,Victoria M. Leavitt,Gianna C Riccitelli,Joshua Sandry,Joshua Sandry,John DeLuca,John DeLuca,G. Comi,Massimo Filippi +10 more
TL;DR: The neuroanatomical basis of reserve against memory decline in MS patients is investigated and the neural basis for this protective influence of enrichment is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Present and future of fMRI in multiple sclerosis.
Massimo Filippi,Maria A. Rocca +1 more
TL;DR: Functional MRI changes were found to correlate with the amount of damage to brain normal-appearing white and gray matter and to the spinal cord, suggesting that, at least in some phases of the disease, increased recruitment of ‘critical’ central nervous system regions might contribute to limiting the functional impact of MS-related injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive reserve, cognition, and regional brain damage in MS: A 2 -year longitudinal study.
Maria A. Rocca,Gianna C Riccitelli,Alessandro Meani,Elisabetta Pagani,Paola Del Sette,Vittorio Martinelli,Giancarlo Comi,Andrea Falini,Massimo Filippi +8 more
TL;DR: In MS, CR may have a protective role in preserving cognitive functions, moderating the effect of structural damage on cognitive performance, and this protective role may diminish with disease progression.
