Abstract

The most commonly seen and studied demyelinating disorder in medical neuropsychology is multiple sclerosis (MS). As such, most of this chapter will focus on MS. Because Guillain–Barré syndrome is the most common demyelinating disorder of the peripheral nervous system, the limited neuropsychological data on this disorder will be reviewed in a brief section at the end.
