Although it is accepted that functional changes of the cortex can occur in patients with white matter diseases of the brain and might have an adaptive role in limiting the clinical consequences of subcortical injury, the pathological substrates able to elicit such cortical changes are still unknown. This multiparametric magnetic resonance study of a patient with an early diagnosis of subacute combined degeneration suggests that demyelination alone does not necessarily induce adaptive functional changes of the cerebral cortex.

Abstract
Although it is accepted that functional changes of the cortex can occur in patients with white matter diseases of the brain and might have an adaptive role in limiting the clinical consequences of subcortical injury, the pathological substrates able to elicit such cortical changes are still unknown. This multiparametric magnetic resonance study of a patient with an early diagnosis of subacute combined degeneration suggests that demyelination alone does not necessarily induce adaptive functional changes of the cerebral cortex.
