Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal syndrome (CBS) are rare neurodegenerative disorders associated with the accumulation of insoluble deposits of predominantly 4 microtubule binding domain repeat (4R) tau protein in specific brain regions, mainly in the absence of other pathogenic proteins including β-amyloid, which is found in Alzheimer’s disease.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. ALS is part of a wider group of disorders known as motor neuron diseases. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body, governing voluntary movements and muscle control. ALS causes progressive degeneration of these motor neurons leading to their death. When the motor neurons die, the brain can no longer initiate and control muscle movement. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, people may lose the ability to speak, eat, move, and breathe.
