Distribution of α-synuclein in the spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia in an autopsy cohort of elderly persons

Abstract

LBAS in the spinal cord was associated with the lower regions of the brainstem, but not with the olfactory bulb or amygdala. LBAS may spread centrifugally along the primary sensory neurons, whereas it may spread centripetally along the preganglionic sympathetic nerves.
