Cognitive and affective neuroscience theories of cognition and depression in multiple sclerosis and guillain-barré syndrome

Abstract

The most commonly seen and studied demyelinating disorder in medical neuropsychology is multiple sclerosis (MS). As such, most of this chapter will focus on MS. Because Guillain-Barré syndrome is the most common demyelinating disorder of the peripheral nervous system, the limited neuropsychological data on this disorder will be reviewed in a brief section at the end. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
