Anatomical and functional visual network patterns in progressive multiple sclerosis Open
The gradual accrual of disability over time in progressive multiple sclerosis is believed to be driven by widespread degeneration. Yet another facet of the problem may reside in the loss of the brain's ability to adapt to the damage incurr…

Conduction delays in the visual pathways of progressive multiple sclerosis patients covary with brain structure Open
In developed countries, multiple sclerosis (MS) is the leading cause of non-traumatic neurological disability in young adults. MS is a chronic demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, in which myelin is attacked, changing white…

Cortical topological network changes following optic neuritis Open
Visual network density appears affected by the neurologic deficit sustained (ON), and connectivity changes are more evident in dorsal-lateral regions. Efficiency and modularity appear to be associated with the specific disease type (CIS vs…

Vision and Vision-Related Measures in Progressive Multiple Sclerosis Open
Background: Over the last few years there has been growing interest in use of visual measures as useful tools for multiple sclerosis (MS) prognosis and tracking. Optic neuritis (ON) being a prevalent and often-presenting symptom of the dis…

Anatomical Wiring and Functional Networking Changes in the Visual System Following Optic Neuritis Open
In this cohort, local optic nerve demyelinating damage does not affect distant wiring, but even in the presence of an intact anatomical network, functional modification may occur. These functional network changes may be part of the recover…
