    • . . . so it is yet unclear ms is because of, or the result of constricted brain blood vessels, or even if it is the contributing or one of a host of several factors?

      I'm not sure thats exactly what they are saying - my understanding is that they were able to see a correlation- which is different than a cause- I think they're saying that this information might help them find the cause- but maybe if they used some kind of vasodialators they might be able to slow the progression of the disease or treat the symptoms.......
