Journal ArticleDOI
Functional MR imaging correlates of neuropsychological impairment in primary-progressive multiple sclerosis.
Maria A. Rocca,Gianna C Riccitelli,M. Rodegher,Antonia Ceccarelli,Andrea Falini,Monica Falautano,Alessandro Meani,G. Comi,Massimo Filippi +8 more
TL;DR: In PPMS, an increased recruitment of cognitive-related networks might represent a functional reserve with the potential to limit the severity of cognitive impairment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longitudinal fMRI studies: Exploring brain plasticity and repair in MS
Christian Enzinger,Daniela Pinter,Maria A. Rocca,John De Luca,Jaume Sastre-Garriga,Bertrand Audoin,Massimo Filippi +6 more
TL;DR: This topical review provides an overview of fMRI research, but also highlights limitations of existing fMRI studies with cross-sectional design and offers recommendations for designing future research studies to overcome previous methodological shortcomings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progression of regional atrophy in the left hemisphere contributes to clinical and cognitive deterioration in multiple sclerosis: A 5-year study.
Paolo Preziosa,Elisabetta Pagani,Sarlota Mesaros,Gianna C Riccitelli,Jelena Dackovic,Jelena Drulovic,Massimo Filippi,Maria A. Rocca +7 more
TL;DR: A different vulnerability of the two brain hemispheres to irreversible structural damage may be among the factors contributing to clinical and cognitive worsening in multiple sclerosis patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Imaging patterns of gray and white matter abnormalities associated with PASAT and SDMT performance in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
Gianna C Riccitelli,Elisabetta Pagani,Mariaemma Rodegher,Bruno Colombo,Paolo Preziosa,Andrea Falini,Giancarlo Comi,Massimo Filippi,Maria A. Rocca +8 more
TL;DR: In RRMS patients, regional damage of different neural systems helps explaining reduced performance in SDMT and PASAT, whereas atrophy of several GM regions distinguished reduced PASat performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microstructural MR Imaging Techniques in Multiple Sclerosis.
TL;DR: The main insights derived from the application of such MR imaging-based techniques to define MS pathophysiology and to quantify the progressive accumulation of structural damage in the central nervous system are discussed.
