## Abstract We measured expression of central nervous system GABAβA receptors with ^11^Cβflumazenil (^11^CβFMZ) and PET in two subjects with stiff person syndrome (SPS). We found reduced ^11^CβFMZ binding potential (BP) in motorβpremotor cortex, and increased ^11^CβFMZ BP in the cerebellar nuclei.
Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) represents a degenerative disorder characterized by the development of higherorder visual deficit. 1 PCA may result from heterogeneous pathologies that make up tauopathies. An increasing number of mutations in the tau gene (microtubule-associated protein tau [MAPT])
We investigated the therapeutic effects of milacemide in seven patients with myoclonus and three patients with the stiff-person syndrome in an open-label trial. Milacemide was initiated at 800 mg/day and was gradually increased to a maximum dosage of 2,400 mg/day. No significant improvement occurred
