This study is the first to report EEG-based functional connectivity measures during a balance perturbation task and show the association with white matter integrity in the brain.
Study Seeks to Better Understand How MS Affects Memory 4.5 (19)
A new research project will seek to better understand the biological processes that drive memory problems in people with multiple sclerosis (MS), as a better understanding of these processes may open new avenues for intervention.
The four-year study is titled “Neuroimaging of Hippocampally Mediated Memory Dysfunction in Multiple Sclerosis,” and received funding totaling $651,997 from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Its principal investigator is Joshua Sandry, PhD, assistant professor of psychology at Montclair State University. Also collaborating on the study is Ekaterina Dobryakova, PhD, a research scientist in the Center for Traumatic Brain Injury Research at Kessler Foundation. She will oversee the clinical project, including advanced neuroimaging studies conducted at the Rocco Ortenzio Center for Neuroimaging at Kessler Foundation.
