including MRI scans and neurological exams. Scans often identify MS lesions in the periventricular white matter of the brain, the optic nerves, or the spinal cord. A contrast MRI can help doctors ...

In MS, slowly expanding lesions were linked to more myelin loss in brain regions of damage and in normal-appearing brain ...

Using 3T MRI to analyze central vein counts and distribution in white matter lesions allows investigators to distinguish ...

For the first time, researchers have identified that inflammation—long associated with multiple sclerosis (MS)—appears to cause increased mutations linked to MS progression.

A new imaging technique is helping ultra-powerful MRI scanners detect tiny differences in the brains of patients with ...

Neurons collected from brain lesions in MS patients were found to accumulate new genetic mutations faster than healthy nerve ...

Ocrelizumab significantly reduced the number and volume of cortical lesions associated with multiple sclerosis at 120 weeks, ...
