Abstract

Kalron et al. report people with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS) who fall show a decreased cerebellar volume along with decreased overall cognition compared to non-fallers. While this paper focuses on cerebellar and cognitive alterations in PwMS, these findings may also be explained by additional factors such as aging and have the potential for broader impact in additional clinical populations who simultaneously experience cognitive and mobility dysfunction.
