Pearson correlation analysis between the CSF levels of overexpressed proteins and the number of cortical lesions detected by 3 T MRI in the subgroup of the 21 MS patients. All the represented correlations involve molecules related to B cell chemo-attraction (CXCL13, CXCL12) and activity (IL6, OPN, TWEAK). The r and p values are reported for each examined correlation in the correspondent graph
