[Disseminated sclerosis: organic basis for mental disorders and cognitive dysfunction].
The MRI-(magnetic resonance imaging) scanner has improved the knowledge of the organic basis of cognitive defects in multiple sclerosis. Recent studies demonstrated a correlation of MRI-verified single lesions, atrophy of the corpus callosum and cognitive defects; but failed to demonstrate the convincing correlation between psychic symptoms and MRI-verified lesions.
