This work assesses the relationship of resting state fMRI (rs-fMRI) of the dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex to episodic memory in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). We find that rs-fMRI in the frontoparietal network is related to performance on a verbal episodic memory measure. This finding confirms previous reports and suggests this measure is appropriate to investigate as a potential predictive marker of cognitive decline.
