Summary: Previous preliminary results are sufficiently impressive to suggest that tDCS stimulation does have the potential to improve motor function when that ability is trained during stimulation. In the proposed study, the investigation will assess whether walking sessions combined with tDCS lead to improvements in motor function: gait, articulation, eye gaze, and motor dexterity. In addition, the invest...
Summary: This study is designed to learn more about overall tau burden in the brain of patients with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP).
