The hummingbird identifies psp among patients with non-fluent primary progressive aphasia
Conclusions
The M/P ratio was disproportionately reduced in PSP. Longitudinal studies are needed to examine the M/P ratio in patients with non-fluent aphasias in whom the PSP motor syndrome is yet to emerge. Larger studies of pathologically confirmed cases are also needed to establish M/P as a biomarker of PSP pathology.
