We investigated structural brain differences between
patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and
healthy controls with T1-weighted images acquired in
five different centers of the German consortium for
fronto-lobar degeneration (FTLD). Using voxel-based
morphometry, we found a major decline in gray matter
density in brainstem and thalamus, but also in striatum
(putamen and caudate) that is in-line with the current
literature. SVM classification provides a high
sensitivity of disease detection when using relevant
brain regions in feature selection.
