## Abstract Diagnostic accuracy has been addressed previously for Parkinson's disease in a brain bank collection, but accuracy of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) has not been addressed in a similar setting. Clinical and genetic features of pathologically confirmed cases of PSP were compared wi

## Abstract Abnormalities in energy metabolism and oxidative stress accompany many neurodegenerative diseases, including progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Previously, we showed decreased activities of a mitochondrial enzyme complex, α‐ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (KGDHC), and marked incr
## Abstract We have tested, in a prospective randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, crossover, 12‐week study, the effects of 2 mg efaroxan, a potent alpha‐2 antagonist, given three times per day to 14 patients with progressive supranuclear palsy. Efaroxan did not induce any significant chang
## Abstract The objective of this study is to better define the pathological characteristics of pathologically proven progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) presenting with the corticobasal syndrome (CBS). PSP is characterized by early falls, vertical supranuclear ophthalmoplegia, and axial rigidity,
Two extended haplotypes of the tau gene (H1 and H2) have been described. The frequency of H1 haplotype is increased in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). PSP is associated with filamentous tau lesions in neurons and glia, which are reportedly composed exclusively of tau isoforms with four repeats
