Neuropathologic correlates of dysarthria in progressive supranuclear palsy.
BACKGROUND The dysarthria of progressive supranuclear palsy consists of prominent hypokinetic and spastic components with less prominent ataxic components. OBJECTIVE To correlate the types of dysarthria with neuropathological changes in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy. DESIGN AND METHODS In 14 patients with progressive supranuclear palsy, we correlated the perceptual speech fin...
متن کاملFrontal atrophy correlates with behavioural changes in progressive supranuclear palsy.
Regional brain volumes were measured in 21 patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), 17 patients with Parkinson's disease and 23 controls using 3D MRI-based volumetry. Cortical, subcortical and ventricular volume measures were correlated with global indices of motor disability and cognitive disturbance. All MRI measures, including hippocampal volume, were preserved in Parkinson's dise...
متن کاملFamilial progressive supranuclear palsy.
A progressive extrapyramidal syndrome and dementia occurred in three members of one family. The age of onset was in the seventh decade and the affected individuals showed many of the clinical features of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Necropsy of one individual revealed the neuropathological features of PSP. We propose that this family has a familial form of PSP and review the evidence i...
متن کاملProgressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP)
Introduction: Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder producing characteristic eye movement abnormalities in the classic presentation. The disease pathologically is marked by accumulation of abnormal tau proteins. There are useful MRI features, however the diagnosis remains clinical in the majority of cases, and no objective diagnostic test exists. Treatment at...
متن کاملProgressive supranuclear palsy.
This review concentrates on the molecular pathology of the protein tau, including its expression in various regions of the brain. The role of post-translational modifications in fibrillogenesis is also discussed, particularly hyperphosphorylation and glycation. However, the initiating event that causes aberrant tau processing remains unclear.
