Here we present a preliminary report assessing the relationship of DTI measures of the fornix to future episodic memory in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). We find that radial diffusivity of the fornix is longitudinally related to visual spatial episodic memory. This finding suggests this measure is appropriate to investigate as a potential predictive marker of cognitive decline.
