Abstract

Parkinson’s disease is a serious neurodegenerative disease characterized by depletion of neurons in the substantia nigra of the basal ganglia. These dying out neurons are found to contain traces of Lewy bodies, an abnormal protein filament of alpha-synuclein and that otherwise play an important role in the nervous system, especially at synapses.
