Exploring the nuanced and often elusive realm of pre-reflective consciousness presents a methodological challenge, as it involves capturing experiences that arise prior to reflective thought and language. This article introduces Phenomenological Mapping, an innovative research method designed to systematically study the pre-reflective dimensions of human experience. Grounded in the foundational theories of Edmund Husserl (2012), Maurice Merleau-Ponty (2013), and Martin Heidegger (1992, 2008), the approach also integrates contemporary perspectives from Dan Zahavi (1999, Contemporary Phenomenology and Qualitative Research 5(1), 1-17, 2021), Shaun Gallagher (2006, 2017), and Evan Thompson (2010, 2017).

Timely intervention at an early stage of the disease may mitigate disease progression. Recent studies indicate that BDNF and MMP-9 play a significant role in the pathogenesis of AD.

Background: Nowadays, cognitive impairment has been characterized as one of the most vital clinical symptoms in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).
Objectives: Based on a relatively large cohort, we aimed to show the cognitive deterioration in different PSP subtypes during 1-year follow-up and investigate potential contributors for disease prognosis.
Methods: One hundred seventeen patients from Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Neuroimage Initiative (PSPNI) cohort underwent neuropsychological tests and 1-year follow-up, with 73 diagnosed as PSP-Richardson syndrome (PSP-RS) and 44 as PSP-non-RS.
