α-Synuclein fibril-induced paradoxical structural and functional defects in hippocampal neurons

Abstract Neuronal inclusions composed of α-synuclein (α-syn) characterize Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Cognitive dysfunction defines DLB, and up to 80% of PD patients develop dementia. α-Syn inclusions are abundant in the hippocampus, yet functional consequences are...
