Abstract

Frontal lobe lesions may play an integral role in cognitive impairments associated with multiple sclerosis (MS). Executive function impairments, traditionally linked to frontal lobe lesions, are common neuropsychological deficits in MS. We found that executive functions were related to left frontal lesions, and to the total brain lesion area. This pattern suggests that left frontal lesions and/or disruption of the pathways to the left frontal lobe have a role in these disturbances in MS.
