    Abstract Objectives: To study the frequency of isolated (i.e., single-domain) cognitive impairments, domain specific MRI correlates, and its longitudinal development in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS).
    Methods: 348 PwMS (mean age 48 ± 11 years, 67% female, 244RR/52SP/38PP) underwent neuropsychological testing (extended BRB-N) at baseline and at five-year follow-up. At baseline, structural MRI was acquired. Isolated cognitive impairment was defined as a Z-score of at least 1.5 SD below normative data in one domain only (processing speed, memory, executive functioning/working memory, and attention). Multi-domain cognitive impairment was defined as being affected in ≥ 2 domains, and cognitively preserved otherwise. For PwMS with isolated cognitive impairment, MRI correlates were explored using linear regression. Development of isolated cognitive impairment over time was evaluated based on reliable change index.
    Results: At baseline, 108 (31%) PwMS displayed isolated cognitive impairment, 148 (43%) PwMS displayed multi-domain cognitive impairment. Most PwMS with isolated cognitive impairment were impaired on executive functioning/working memory (EF/WM; N = 37), followed by processing speed (IPS; N = 25), memory (N = 23), and attention (N = 23). Isolated IPS impairment was explained by a model of cortical volume and fractional anisotropy (adj. R
    Conclusion: Isolated cognitive impairment is frequently present in PwMS and can serve as a proxy for further decline, particularly when it concerns processing speed. Cortical and deep grey matter atrophy seem to play a pivotal role in isolated cognitive impairment. Timely detection and patient-tailored intervention, predominantly for IPS, may help to postpone further cognitive decline.

    Abstract Multiple sclerosis is a neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system that can be considered a network disorder. In MS, lesional pathology continuously disconnects structural pathways in the brain, forming a disconnection syndrome. Complex functional network changes then occur that are poorly understood but closely follow clinical status. Studying these structural and functional network changes has been and remains crucial to further decipher complex symptoms like cognitive impairment and physical disability. Recent insights especially implicate the importance of monitoring network hubs in MS, like the thalamus and default-mode network which seem especially hit hard. Such network insights in MS have led to the hypothesis that as the network continues to become disconnected and dysfunctional, exceeding a certain threshold of network efficiency loss leads to a "network collapse". After this collapse, crucial network hubs become rigid and overloaded, and at the same time a faster neurodegeneration and accelerated clinical (and cognitive) progression can be seen. As network neuroscience has evolved, the MS field can now move towards a clearer classification of the network collapse itself and specific milestone events leading up to it. Such an updated network-focused conceptual framework of MS could directly impact clinical decision making as well as the design of network-tailored rehabilitation strategies. This review therefore provides an overview of recent network concepts that have enhanced our understanding of clinical progression in MS, especially focusing on cognition, as well as new concepts that will likely move the field forward in the near future.

    Abstract During the course of multiple sclerosis, many patients experience cognitive deficits which are not simply driven by lesion number or location. By considering the full complexity of white matter structure at macro- and microstructural levels, our understanding of cognitive impairment in multiple sclerosis may increase substantially. Accordingly, this study aimed to investigate specific patterns of white matter degeneration, the evolution over time, the manifestation across different stages of the disease and their role in cognitive impairment using a novel fixel-based approach. Neuropsychological test scores and MRI scans including 30-direction diffusion-weighted images were collected from 327 multiple sclerosis patients (mean age = 48.34 years, 221 female) and 95 healthy controls (mean age = 45.70 years, 55 female). Of those, 233 patients and 61 healthy controls had similar follow-up assessments 5 years after. Patients scoring 1.5 or 2 standard deviations below healthy controls on at least two out of seven cognitive domains (from the Brief Repeatable Battery of Neuropsychological Tests, BRB-N) were classified as mildly cognitively impaired or cognitively impaired, respectively, or otherwise cognitively preserved. Fixel-based analysis of diffusion data was used to calculate fibre-specific measures (fibre density, reflecting microstructural diffuse axonal damage; fibre cross-section, reflecting macrostructural tract atrophy) within atlas-based white matter tracts at each visit. At baseline, all fixel-based measures were significantly worse in multiple sclerosis compared with healthy controls (

    Abstract Cortical multiple sclerosis lesions are disease-specific, yet inconspicuous on magnetic resonance images (MRI). Double inversion recovery (DIR) images are sensitive, but often unavailable in clinical routine and clinical trials. Artificially generated images can mitigate this issue, but lack histopathological validation. In this work, artificial DIR images were generated from postmortem 3D-T1 and proton-density (PD)/T2 or 3D-T1 and 3D fluid-inversion recovery (FLAIR) images, using a generative adversarial network. All sequences were scored for cortical lesions, blinded to histopathology. Subsequently, tissue samples were stained for proteolipid protein (myelin) and scored for cortical lesions type I-IV (leukocortical, intracortical, subpial and cortex-spanning, respectively). Histopathological scorings were then (unblinded) compared to MRI using linear mixed models. Images from 38 patients (26 female, mean age 64.3 ± 10.7) were included. A total of 142 cortical lesions were detected, predominantly subpial. Histopathology-blinded/unblinded sensitivity was 13.4/35.2% for artificial DIR generated from T1-PD/T2, 14.1/41.5% for artificial DIR from T1-FLAIR, 17.6/49.3% for conventional DIR and 10.6/34.5% for 3D-T1. When blinded to histopathology, there were no differences; with histopathological feedback at hand, conventional DIR and artificial DIR from T1-FLAIR outperformed the other sequences. Differences between histopathology-blinded/unblinded sensitivity could be minified through adjustment of the scoring criteria. In conclusion, artificial DIR images, particularly generated from T1-FLAIR could potentially substitute conventional DIR images when these are unavailable.

    Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disorder affecting the central nervous system and features extensive functional brain changes that are poorly understood but relate strongly to clinical impairments. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a non-invasive, powerful technique able to map activity of brain regions and to assess how such regions interact for an efficient brain network. FMRI has been widely applied to study functional brain changes in MS, allowing to investigate functional plasticity consequent to disease-related structural injury. The first studies in MS using active fMRI tasks mainly aimed to study such plastic changes by identifying abnormal activity in salient brain regions (or systems) involved by the task. In later studies the focus shifted towards resting state (RS) functional connectivity (FC) studies, which aimed to map large-scale functional networks of the brain and to establish how MS pathology impairs functional integration, eventually leading to the hypothesized network collapse as patients clinically progress. This review provides a summary of the main findings from studies using task-based and RS fMRI and illustrates how functional brain alterations relate to clinical disability and cognitive deficits in this condition. We also give an overview of longitudinal studies that used task-based and RS fMRI to monitor disease evolution and effects of motor and cognitive rehabilitation. In addition, we discuss the results of studies using newer technologies involving time-varying FC to investigate abnormal dynamism and flexibility of network configurations in MS. Finally, we show some preliminary results from two recent topics (i.e., multimodal MRI analysis and artificial intelligence) that are receiving increasing attention. Together, these functional studies could provide new (conceptual) insights into disease stage-specific mechanisms underlying progression in MS, with recommendations for future research.
