The main motor pathway in the brain of multiple sclerosis patients.

Mobility impairment is the most disabling symptom in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Changes to motor disability in MS are likely related to damage in the corticospinal tract (CST), the main motor pathway. Using an advanced ultra high field (7T) MRI scanner, we were able to image the CST with a high spatial resolution to study axonal damage in detail and its relationship to motor disability in patients with MS.
