Abstract
Background: Cortical lesion subtypes' occurrence and distribution across networks may shed light on cognitive impairment (CI) in multiple sclerosis (MS).
Methods: In 332 people with MS, lesions were classified as intracortical, leukocortical or juxtacortical based on artificially generated double inversion-recovery images.
Results: CI-related leukocortical lesion count increases were greatest within sensorimotor and cognitive networks (p < 0.001). Only intracortical lesion count could distinguish between cognitive groups (p = 0.024). Effect sizes were two- to four-fold larger than differences between MS phenotypes.
Conclusion: In CI-MS, leukocortical lesions predominate, whereas intracortical lesions distinguish cognitive groups. Lesions' grey matter (GM) involvement might be decisive for cognition in MS, surpassing overall disease burden.
