progressive supranuclear palsy
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects the brain, leading to problems with movement, balance, and cognitive function. It is characterized by the gradual worsening of symptoms over time and can result in difficulties with walking, swallowing, and controlling eye movements. PSP is caused by the buildup of abnormal proteins in certain areas of the brain, leading to the loss of cells that control movement and behavior.
