[In Context] Maria Pia Amato: focusing on cognitive health in multiple sclerosis

“Cognitive health is not only the absence of cognitive impairment. It's the ability to maintain mental efficiency, flexibility, and emotional balance despite the burden of the disease. Cognitive deficits in multiple sclerosis involve attention, memory, information processing speed, executive function, but also motivation and the capacity to adapt”. Maria Pia Amato (University of Florence, Italy) has her mind set on redefining the importance of cognitive health in patients with multiple sclerosis.
