Abstract
Mood dysfunctions (MD) in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients have long been considered as reactive disorders. Neuroimaging studies have however suggested a neurobiological basis for MD, showing significant correlations between brain structural damage, as measured by conventional and non-conventional MRI techniques, and MD. More recent functional MRI (fMRI) data have also displayed adaptive cortical changes as well as abnormal functional integration between key emotional regions in MS patients.
