impaired cerebral perfusion in MS

Long paper about general brain perfusion, but deals with MS at the end:

Extracted from the article:

Brain perfusion in MS

In patients with MS, cerebral hypoperfusion was first observed about 30 years ago and it has become evident now that reduced cerebral perfusion, likely due to NVU malfunction and involving both the gray and white matter, is an integral feature of MS pathology. These findings may influence our understanding of the underlying disease processes and be important for future therapeutic considerations.
