Key Points

This resolution asks the House of Representatives to name May 2026 as a special month for two rare brain diseases. These diseases are called Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Corticobasal Degeneration.
Around 32,000 Americans live with these conditions. They are often hard to diagnose because they look like other brain issues. People with these diseases have a hard time moving, talking, and swallowing.
The resolution supports more research to find cures and better treatments. It also honors the families and doctors who help patients manage these difficult health problems.
