  Reduced thalamic and cerebellar rest metabolism in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, a positron emission tomography study: Correlations to lesion load.

summary: This study applied Positron Emission Tomography to a group of recent RR-MS patients with low disability, suggesting that demyelinating lesions in MS mainly have a remote effect on cortical, basal ganglia and cerebellum metabolism and that regional cortical compensatory mechanisms may be observed concurrently.
