Attention-related changes in short-term cortical plasticity help to explain fatigue in multiple sclerosis

Conclusion:
Short-term and long-term plasticity mechanisms are abnormal in MS possibly owing to widespread changes in ion-channel expression. Fatigue in MS reflects disrupted cortical attentional networks related to movement control.
