Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Cortical lesions in multiple sclerosis (MS) severely affect cognition, but their longitudinal evolution and impact on specific cognitive functions remain understudied. This study investigates the evolution of function-specific cognitive functioning over 10 years in people with MS and assesses the influence of cortical lesion load and formation on these trajectories.
