Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease in which the insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged. This damage disrupts the ability of parts of the nervous system to communicate, resulting in a range of signs and symptoms, including physical, mental, and sometimes psychiatric problems.
Cerebral Motor Cortex. As the name of the disorder suggests, cerebral palsy affects the cerebrum, the largest portion of the brain. The cerebrum controls voluntary movements, thinking, reasoning and emotions, as well as some specialized functions such as visual processing, speech and hearing.lthough the gray matter processes the information in the brain, the white matter transmits the signals to the rest of the body. Some cerebral palsy occurs due to damage to the white matter, a condition known as periventricular leukomalacia--PVL. The damage in PVL looks like tiny holes in the white matter.
