Cortico-amygdala synaptic structural abnormalities produced by templated aggregation of α-synuclein
PD and DLB involve α-syn inclusions in the amygdala affecting cognition and emotions. Cortico-amygdala synapses with α-syn aggregates show increased volume of synapses, potentially contributing to behavioral impairments.
Post-fibrillization nitration of alpha-synuclein abolishes its seeding activity and pathology formation in primary neurons and in vivo
Increasing evidence points to post-translational modifications (PTMs) as key regulators of alpha-synuclein (α-Syn) function in health and disease. However, whether these PTMs occur before or after α-Syn pathology formation and their role in…
