Research
There is ongoing, extensive research into the cause and possible treatments for PSP around the world.
Australia
The Brain Foundation was established in 1970 by members of the Australian Association of Neurologists and the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia to reduce the incidence and impact of disorders of the brain, spinal cord and nervous system through the provision of support, community education and research. It encorporates the Brain Foundation Victoria, Brain Foundation Tasmania and Brain Foundation NSW as is a non-profit organisation.
They conduct invaluable research into many diseases including PSP. If you would like to make a donation to help their research into a cure, they have an donation form that can be downloaded from the Brain Australia website. Alternatively you can make a bequest in your will, or volunteer your time in many ways.
Europe
The Sara Koe PSP Research Centre was set up in January 2002 at the Institute of Neurology in London to co-ordinate and provide administrative support for those involved in PSP research within the UK, and as a link with PSP research worldwide. The Centre also administers a PSP DNA and Brain Bank. It is closely linked to the Queen Square Brain Bank where research into related neuro-degenerative diseases is carried out.
