It is known that multiple sclerosis results in decreased
cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen and blood flow. Both
of these are critical elements in cerebrovascular
reactivity to neuronal activation. Using simultaneous
BOLD/ASL, we measured BOLD activation during a visual
task and cerebrovascular reactivity using a hypercapnia
challenge in a cohort of multiple sclerosis patients and
matched control subjects. We show that the
cerebrovascular coupling is significantly different in
multiple sclerosis patients.
