<p>The symptoms are muscle weakness, slow reaction time, visual perception issues, seizures, hearing loss, weight gain, general sense of pain and delusions.

Are the symptoms important to the core question at all? It seems to me they are unrelated and could be removed from the question title and content altogether, probably addressing the close votes which state this question is too broad.

T2 weighted MRI scans can reveal white matter lesions, so that may explain the detection of demyelination.

Of course, that's not fMRI...
