However, even a 0 ms difference between sternocleidomastoid and masseter is different from the 2-3 ms lead of masseter over sternocleidomastoid which occurs after magnetic stimulation of the motor cortex (see Table 1). A final feature of the startle response indicates that the descending pathway involved is quite different from the corticospinal tract activated by motor cortex stimulation. Magnetic stimulation of motor cortex preferentially evokes activity in the hand and forearm muscles. In the startle, responses are largest in the axial and proximal muscles.
Particularly difficult from a diagnostic point of view are the problems that PSP patients pose when they present with atypical clinical manifestations. Jellinger et ai. (1980), for example, described four pathologically proven cases of PSP in which the clinical manifestations developed before age 34 in mentally subnormal individuals who presented a prominent neuropsychiatric disorder which included violent behaviour with outbursts of irritability and aggressiveness, restlessness and disorientation causing early admission to psychiatric hospitals.
If we assume that the conduction velocity of the peripheral efferent pathway from spinal cord to muscle is the same in each case, then the conduction velocity of the central descending tract responsible for the startle must be considerably slower than that of the corticospinal tract. Precisely which pathways are activated by the startle is not clear. However, some clues come from the pattern of activation of muscles in the face and neck. Brown et al. (1991) initially showed that close inspection of the cranial nerve innervated muscles suggested an origin of the startle in the lower brainstem.
