Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This collection is the second edition of the Special Issue “Cognitive Impairment and Neuropsychiatric Dysfunctions in Multiple Sclerosis”.
Cognitive deficits have been reported in 45–70% of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Like other symptoms of MS, cognitive deficits are highly variable. Slowed information processing, and memory and learning dysfunction are regarded as the most frequent cognitive deficits in MS. Both white and gray matter damages have been suggested to contribute to cognitive impairments in MS. In addition to cognitive impairments, neuropsychiatric symptoms are observed in MS, the most common being alterations in mood state, which have multidimensional effects on patients’ quality of life. Consequently, attention should be paid to cognitive impairment and neuropsychiatric dysfunctions in multiple sclerosis, which this Special Issue aims to address.
The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Historical background;
- Cognitive impairment in MS: last developments and future prospects;
- Neuropsychiatric dysfunctions in MS;
- Personality, behavior and MS;
- Neuroimaging of cognitive impairment and neuropsychiatric dysfunctions in MS;
- Neurochemistry of cognitive impairment and neuropsychiatric dysfunctions in MS;
- Non-pharmacological treatments of cognitive impairment in MS.
