Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Experienced a demyelinating event (Only applicable to patient subjects)

- Between the ages of 5 years to 18 years and 11 months of age

- Has either English as his or her native language or has had at least two years of
schooling in English

Exclusion Criteria:

- Children with non-demyelinating etiologies of white matter dysfunction (i.e.,
metabolic disorders, vasculitis, and non-specific MRI abnormalities

- Is younger than 5 years of age

- Is 18 years and 11 of age or older

- Has a prior history of traumatic brain injury, neurological disorder, cerebral palsy,
developmental delay, or learning disability

- Requires sedation for brain scanning

- Is claustrophobic, as brain scanning requires children to enter a tunnel in the MRI
machine
