## Abstract Trigeminoβcervical reflexes (TCRs) are multisynaptic neck muscle withdrawal responses that are clearly identifiable in humans. Mediated by neural circuits at brainstem level, these reflex responses have been found to be significantly impaired in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), a
## 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 We compared the activity of Ib spinal interneurons in five patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) with six ageβmatched control subjects. Stimulation of the medial gastrocnemius nerve at motor threshold intensity activated Ib afferents that in turn inhibit H reflexes from the
