New Research Highlights Imaging Differences in Severe Forms of MS

Tuesday, July 15th, 2025

A new study published in Brain Communications by researchers at the University at Buffalo and the Buffalo Neuroimaging Analysis Center identifies distinct neuroimaging patterns in early aggressive and late severe multiple sclerosis (MS). Using 16 years of real-world MRI data and advanced AI techniques, the study found that early aggressive MS is linked to cortical and thalamic damage, while late severe MS shows more extensive spinal cord and grey matter atrophy.

These findings support more personalized monitoring and treatment approaches for patients with severe MS.
