ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Cognition refers to a person’s ability to perform high-level brain functions and includes things like thinking, learning, remembering, and understanding. Up to 65% of individuals with MS will develop cognitive dysfunction over the course of their disease. For some people, cognitive dysfunction can be very mild and not easily noticed by those around them. For others, it can be significant and make it difficult to work or take care of things at home. Join Dr. Ernest Aucone, PhD to learn about cognitive dysfunction and how to recognize and manage this symptom of MS.
