Patients with multiple sclerosis experience relapses followed by disease remission. Recently, neuroplasticity, or the brain's innate ability to reorganise itself to maintain function after injury, has been thought to play a significant role in remission. We study patients with optic neuritis, which causes loss of vision, to understand visual parts of the brain change during recovery to enable patients to see again despite ongoing brain injury.

多发性硬化症患者经历复发，然后疾病缓解。最近，神经可塑性，即大脑在受伤后与生俱来的自我重组能力，以维持功能，被认为在缓解中发挥着重要作用。我们研究导致视力丧失的视神经炎患者，以了解恢复过程中大脑视觉部分的变化，使患者能够在持续的脑损伤中再次看到东西。
