Join our webinar about how progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD) are diagnosed, the most common symptoms, and how these symptoms can be treated.
Thursday, August 28, 3-4:30pm PT
Ze Yang, PhD
Stanford’s Ze Yang, PhD, joined the Brain Support Network local CBS/CBD support group on Sunday, February 9, 2025, where he talked about corticobasal syndrome (CBS) research. Dr. Yang is trying to identify a blood biomarker for CBS, which would be used to accurately diagnose the disorder in a living person. Currently, there are no biomarkers for this rare disorder. A diagnosis is only possible through brain donation.
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
