Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The five studies forming this thesis deal with two closely related neurodegenerative diseases,progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD), both of which are characterised by abundant tau-positive neuronal and glial filamentous inclusions and by \nshared genetic risk factors[19, 70]. Four studies focus on demonstrating neuropathological, biochemical and genetic differences between the classical/typical form and atypical PSP while the fifth study discusses issues relevant for understanding disease progression in CBD. \n
