Healthy Living: Multiple Sclerosis Early Brain Changed

A new study sheds light on the symptoms of multiple sclerosis.

It’s a disease where the body attacks its own central nervous system.

While there’s no cure, in Healthy Living we learn that researchers want to know what happens in the brain early in the progression of the disease, with the ultimate goal of finding something to stop it.

On the brain scans, compared to the healthy people, those with MS had widespread abnormalities in their white matter, with the most extensive damage in areas that play an important role in the brain’s network.

The more damage people had in these areas of the brain, the more likely they were to also have low scores on the clinical tests.
