Those who attended the Brain Support Network PSP symposium in October 2017 heard international PSP expert Larry Golbe, MD speak about this cluster of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) cases in a northern
French town.
Now, a paper has been published in the journal “Scientific Reports” about research into the heavy metals found in that town. Researchers concluded that “[o]verall, this study suggests that chromium and nickel could contribute to the pathophysiology of tauopathies such as PSP by promoting tau accumulation and neuronal cell death.”
