Overview

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks and damages the myelin sheath surrounding nerves in the central nervous system, disrupting the transmission of signals between the brain and the rest of the body. This damage produces a wide range of physical and cognitive symptoms, including muscle weakness, vision problems, fatigue, numbness, and difficulties with balance and coordination. Affecting the brain and spinal cord, MS most often begins in young and middle-aged adults and follows a relapsing or progressive course; its cause is not fully understood but is believed to involve both genetic and environmental factors. Because MS centres on the brain and spinal cord, it is closely tied to the study of the spine and the broader neurosciences, where damage to central nervous pathways and its functional consequences are key concerns. The journal publishes research relevant to this neuroscience context, including studies of rehabilitation and occupational therapy, disease severity and prognostic factors, phototherapy and other interventions, neurological case presentations, and the developmental biology of myelin-producing oligodendrocytes and associated signalling pathways. Recurring themes include demyelination and neural signal disruption, neurovascular and neurological function, the relapsing course of disease, and rehabilitative and clinical approaches to preserving neurological capacity.
