Mult Scler Relat Disord. 2021 Aug:53:103056. doi: 10.1016/j.msard.2021.103056. Epub 2021 May 29.

Abstract

The cognitive and language processes underlying verbal fluency remain unclear. While some cognitive processes related to memory and executive functioning have been more associated with category and letter verbal fluency, other less studied aspects of language ability could be also related. We discuss the contribution of the recent study by Lebkuecher and colleagues (2021) about the role of language in verbal fluency, and the data from other studies evaluating the cognitive and neuroimaging correlates of verbal fluency in MS.
