Although corticobasal degeneration has a plethora of symptoms, some are more prevalent than others. In a study of 147 patients with CBD, it was found that all of them had at least one Parkinsonian sign, 95% having two and 93% had some higher order dysfunction (cognitive impairments like acalculia, sensory loss, dementia, neglect, etc
Corticobasal syndrome (CBS) is a rare, progressive atypical Parkinsonism syndrome and is a tauopathy related to frontotemporal dementia. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] CBS is typically caused by the deposit of tau proteins forming in different areas of the brain.
The Costa judges described it as "An absolutely brilliant story that needs to be told about the human capacity to endure and keep putting one foot in front of another." [7] In May 2019 The Salt Path won the inaugural RSL Christopher Bland Prize. [8] The book was a Sunday Times bestseller in 2018. [6]
Winn and her husband Moth, who was diagnosed with corticobasal degeneration (CBD), became homeless after a business deal with a friend went wrong, [3] [4] and decided to walk the 630-mile (1,010 km) South West Coast Path.

There are three main histological subtypes found at post-mortem: FTLD-tau, FTLD-TDP, and FTLD-FUS. In rare cases, patients with clinical FTD were found to have changes consistent with Alzheimer's disease on autopsy. [41] The most severe brain atrophy appears to be associated with behavioral variant FTD, and corticobasal degeneration. [42]
Corticobasal degeneration (CBD) is an increasingly acknowledged neurodegenerative disorder characterized by both motor and cognitive dysfunction. In affected regions, histological examination reveals pronounced neuronal loss accompanied by spongiosis and gliosis, cortical ballooned cells, and notable intracytoplasmic filamentous tau pathology ...
The CBGTC loop has been implicated in many diseases. For example, in Parkinson's disease, degeneration of dopaminergic neurons leading to decreased activity of the excitatory pathway is thought to result in hypokinesia, [15] and in Huntington's disease, degeneration of GABAergic neurons driving the inhibitory pathway is thought to result in the jerky body movements.
