Title
A functional MRI study of movement-associated cortical changes in patients with Devic's neuromyelitis optica
Abstract
Movement-associated cortical changes have been shown in several neurological conditions and were found to be associated to the extent of brain and cord damage. Devic's neuromyelitis optica (DNO) is characterized by a severe involvement of the cord and optic nerve, with sparing of the brain. To assess the actual role of cord pathology on the pattern of movement-associated cortical recruitment, we obtained functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) from patients with DNO and investigated whether the extent of brain activation is correlated with the extent of cervical cord damage.
