Neurocognitive functions and brain atrophy after proven neuroborreliosis: a case-control study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Decision-making is an essential function of everyday life. Decision-making under explicit risk requires developing advantageous decision strategies based on fixed outcomes (e.g., probabilities of winning or losing a bet). Decision-making and its neural substrates have been rarely studied in MS. We expected p...
