I have never heard that, but it is an very interesting question. I will be interested in what others say and I will try to do some research on my own, if I find anything I will report back here.hunterd/HuntOP/Dave

I imagine that's probably true. Luckily, we have A LOT of brain cells! The issue with the lesions is whether or not our brain can work around what is lost and find a new neural pathway to perform the same behavior.Lori

There's a good video that explains this (thanks for posting about this in another thread, ru4cats
) by Dr. Vollmer of the Rocky Mountain MS Center on YouTube. It's entitled "Perserving Brain/Cognitive Function in MS Patients: Role of Disease Modifying Therapies." My MS Specialist has talked to me about the same thing ... his goal is to protect me from brain atrophy.
