This observation has important ramifications for neuroprotection and neurorestoration trials in MS. An earlier paper by the group describes a novel variant of MS (affecting perhaps 10 percent of the patient pool) where retinal pathology begins in the macula of the retina, rather than the disease targeting myelin first in the optic nerve and then leading to axonal and neuronal degeneration in the retina.]]></description><link>http://www.utsouthwestern.edu/education/medical-school/departments/neurology/news-and-events/announcements.html</link><tags><![CDATA[Publications]]></tags><pubDate>Tue, 25 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Elliot Frohman, MD PhD, Teresa Frohman, PA contribute to publication, ]]></title><description><![CDATA["Diffusion tensor imaging the medial longitudinal fasciculus in INO: opportunities and challenges"&nbsp; Ken Sakaie, Masaya Takahashi, Ivan Dimitrov, Osamu Togao, Scott Davis, Gina Remington, Amy Conger, Darrel Conger, Teresa Frohman, Robert Fox,and Elliot Frohman]]></description><link>http://www.utsouthwestern.edu/education/medical-school/departments/neurology/news-and-events/announcements.html</link><tags><![CDATA[Publications]]></tags><pubDate>Tue, 25 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Teresa Frohman, Elliot Frohman, Scott Davis publish "Modeling the mechanisms of Uhthoff's phenomenon in MS patients with internuclear ophthalmoparesis]]></title><description><![CDATA[Frohman, T.C., S.L.
