Christine Walsh, PhD
UCSF’s Christine Walsh, PhD, joined the Brain Support Network local PSP support group on Sunday, March 9, 2025, where she talked about sleep issues in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Dr. Walsh wants to improve the quality-of-life for those with PSP and their care partners, as well as identify a sleep-based biomarker for PSP.

En esta webinario, comenzaré con algunas observaciones sobre la historia de la parálisis supranuclear progresiva (PSP) y el síndrome corticobasal (SCB). Luego, explicaré la presentación clínica, la fisiopatología (cómo se produce la enfermedad) y las claves para el diagnóstico de estas dos intrigantes enfermedades. Al final de la presentación, hablaré sobre las modalidades de tratamiento actuales y los medicamentos experimentales que se están desarrollando.

In 2025, we will be asking Northern and Central California researchers (from Stanford, UCSF, etc) to give short, virtual talks on their research on PSP, CBS/CBD, MSA, or LBD. When we are asked by a researcher to help them recruit for their studies, we will invite them to speak with our community members, sharing some background and context for their research.

In 2025, the Brain Support Network support group for those with a PSP (progressive supranuclear palsy), CBD (corticobasal degeneration), or CBS (corticobasal syndrome) diagnosis will gather virtually on the second Sunday, 12:30-1pm. Only those who live in Northern or Central California may join. The meetings are loosely facilitated by a local support group member with a CBS diagnosis. Continue reading
