I hear people saying that they have a certain symptom because of the location of a lesion. Does anyone have a "roadmap" of what symptoms a person can have in direct correlation to lesion placement?

Members discussed finding a 'roadmap' connecting lesion locations to specific MS symptoms, with several sharing that their neurologists provided detailed brain and spine maps explaining how lesions in certain areas affect different functions. One member offered to personally share an informative brain and spine map they received from their neurologist, describing it as a clarifying moment for understanding their invisible symptoms. A recurring theme was that neurologists are a key resource for this information, and one member also suggested searching Dr. Boster's YouTube videos for helpful explanations about which brain regions control which actions or feelings.

I don't have one, but I know doctors must know because my neurologist gave me a specific list of symptoms I could have including location for a lesion on my c spine.

I 1/2016, after changing to a new Nuero, I received a brain / spine map explaining how lesions in certain areas affect certain things. I really needed and wanted this paper. I am one of those people who doesn't normally exhibit symptoms of MS. My disease is invisible, except for to me. Send me some how to send it to you and I will. It is super informative and was a total " I get it now " moment. Sharon
