Anat Achiron,Anat Achiron,Joab Chapman,Joab Chapman,David Magalashvili,Mark Dolev,M. Lavie,Eran Bercovich,Michael Polliack,Michael Polliack,Glen M. Doniger,Yael Stern,Olga Khilkevich,Shay Menascu,Shay Menascu,Gil Hararai,Micharel Gurevich,Yoram Barak,Yoram Barak +18 more
TL;DR: The rates of cognitive impairment in this large sample of MS patients were lower than previously reported and severe cognitive impairment was evident only in a relatively small group of patients, suggesting the existence of a therapeutic window during which patients may benefit from interventions to maintain cognitive health.

Cognitive Resilience In Multiple Sclerosis: Characterization Of Blood Gene Expression Profiles Associated With Preserved Cognitive Function (P1.194)
TL;DR: Cognitively resilient RRMS patients are also disease resilient, and down regulation of the inflammatory response was evident by suppression of IL2R, IL17RB, IL1RN and ITGB3 and in accordance by stimulation of apoptosis with up-regulation of BAX, BCLAF1 and DDX58.
