Rainwater Charitable Foundation criteria for the neuropathologic diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy.

"We are deeply grateful to the PSP patients and their families who made brain donations supported by CurePSP for diagnosis and research that enabled this effort to update neuropathologic criteria, but also provide resources for current and future research on PSP. We acknowledge the generous support from the Rainwater Charitable Foundation that made this study possible. We acknowledge excellent histological services provided by Ms. Monica Castanedes-Casey and Ms. Virginia Philips at Mayo Clinic and excellent administrative help provided by Ms. Laura Wise at UCSF. After the completion of this study, Dr. Duyckaerts sadly passed away after a long term illness. We dedicate these revised neuropathologic criteria to our late highly esteemed colleagues, Dr. Charles Duyckaerts, Dr. Peter Davies, Dr. John Trojanowski and Dr. John Steele whose endeavors have shaped the field of tauopathies and PSP in particular.
