| Dr Meaghan Clough researches cognitive speed in early MS |
by Anne Crawford
For seven years, researcher Dr Meaghan Clough frequently observed Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients performing well on the standard test used to measure cognitive function then talk to her about cognitive problems they were facing. She wondered about the discrepancy.
“On further investigation I would realise that actually they did have a cognitive deficit,” Dr Clough said.
Working memory (WM) and attention deficits are a common – and disturbing – symptom of MS.
