In this article, the nature and course of cognitive dysfunction in MS are reviewed, particularly in the context of recent advances in our understanding of the diffuse nature of neuropathology in MS, and in the context of specific factors that may confer risk or protection for the development of cognitive impairment. In addition, assessment and screening approaches of MS-related cognitive dysfunction are discussed. MS is a condition not only restricted to the adult population, and this article includes a brief description of cognition in pediatric-onset MS. Finally, promising intervention approaches to treat cognitive problems in MS are summarized.
