New auditory stimuli test shows promise in measuring cognitive function in severe MS

SAN DIEGO — A newly developed auditory-based test could assess and monitor cognitive function in previously untestable patients who are severely affected by MS, according to a poster at ACTRIMS 2023.
“We are trying to understand how the disease affects people who have high [Expanded Disability Status Scale] scores and who have been traditionally neglected in MS research,” Zachary Weinstock, BS, a PhD candidate in neuroscience at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo, told Healio in an interview. “We have no idea, really, how
