The default mode network (DMN) is a well-established and
critical network, which has been shown to be associated
with healthy cognitive function and is known to be
disrupted in various neurological conditions, including
multiple sclerosis (MS). Cerebrovascular reactivity
(CVR) is a measure of healthy neurovascular coupling and
overall brain function. In this study, we quantify the
CVR deficit seen within the DMN, in order to shed some
light on the cognitive deficits that MS patients often
experience.
