Cognitive reserve moderates the impact of subcortical gray matter atrophy on neuropsychological status in multiple sclerosis

Conclusions:
SCGM atrophy occurs in normal controls, but significantly more so in MS. While CPS did not change in normal controls, low cognitive reserve was associated with CPS decline in MS. High cognitive reserve protect MS patients from cognitive decline related to SCGM atrophy.
