To the Editor: Multiple sclerosis, the most common neurologic disease in young adults, is accompanied by focal demyelinating plaques within the central nervous system, which can be quantified in vivo by using high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Thus, multiple sclerosis may be an excellent model for the study of the influences of focal lesions on some forms of sensory function. Since multiple-sclerosis–related plaques vary in number over time, differ considerably from patient to patient, and often occur in regions of the brain associated with the ability to smell,¹ we determined whether the number of multiple-sclerosis–related plaques in olfactory regions correlates . . .
