Abstract

This is a tribute to an outstanding Portuguese neurologist and researcher, Paula Coutinho (1941-2022), who specialized in the care and study of people with familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy and Machado-Joseph disease which she helped define. As a result, she collaborated with the inauguration of the Centro de Estudos de Paramiloidose Antônio Rodrigues de Mello (CEPARM) founded in 1984 at the University Hospital of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. Since then, we admire her commitment to science and patients.
