Abstrakt: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated neurological disorder that affects one million people in the United States. Up to 50% of people with MS experience depression, yet the mechanisms of depression in MS remain under-investigated. Studies of medically healthy participants with depression have described associations between white matter variability and depressive symptoms, but frequently exclude participants with medical comorbidities and thus cannot be extrapolated to people with intracranial diseases. White matter lesions are a key pathologic feature of MS and could disrupt pathways involved in depression symptoms. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of brain network disruption on depression using MS as a model. We will obtain structured clinical and cognitive assessments from two hundred fifty participants with MS and prospectively evaluate white matter lesion burden as a predictor of depressive symptoms. Ethics approval was obtained from The University of Pennsylvania Institutional Review Board (Protocol #853883). The results of this study will be presented at scientific meetings and conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals.
