Previous studies that attempted to align the anatomy of lesions associated with memory problems in MS led to conflicting results.

New findings show how the brain prepares to make choices during decision-makingNeuroscientists and psychologists have been trying for decades to better understand how humans make decisions, in the hope to devise more effective interventions to promote healthy and beneficial lifestyle choices. Two brain regions that have been linked to decision-making are the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC).
