Question:

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Answer:

Inflammatory disease that affects central nervous system. Characterized by visible brain lesions called plaques.The location of plaques can vary, but are frequently symmetrical and tend to affect areas of white matter adjacent to the brain ventricles. The plaque locations cause various neurological symptoms, including vision disturbances, muscle weakness, and cognitive deficiencies.MS attacks the myelin sheath, which is the protein-rich coating that insulates neurons. Destruction of the myelin sheath leads to impaired neuron function and eventually cell death. Neuron death causes visible lesions called plaques.
