## Abstract Dysphagia is common in both Parkinson's disease (PD) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Although it is believed to be more common in PSP, there are no controlled data and no comparison of swallowing function between these two disorders. Our aim was to assess dysphagia and swallow
## Abstract The differentiation between progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and Parkinson's disease (PD) may be difficult, especially in the early stages of disease. Positron emission tomography potentially provides a tool for making such a distinction. To identify key features in the spatial dist
Major clinical features and global measures were systematically evaluated and compared in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and Parkinson's disease (PD). In addition to gaze palsy and early postural instability in PSP, absence of levodopa-induced dyskinesia, frontalis muscle overactivity, primiti
## Abstract It can be difficult to clinically distinguish between classical Parkinson's disease (PD) and progressive supranuclear palsy. Previously, there have been no biomarkers that reliably allow this distinction to be made. We report that an abnormal brain iron accumulation is a marker for ongo
