summary: It is well known that multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory-demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. The authors of this study have studied the brain of people with relapsing remitting MS by a new magnetic resonance technique that investigates the white matter tracts. They found not only that people with MS showed changes in the brain that were not observed in healthy controls, but also that those changes correlated with clinical impairment.
