Lewy bodies and coarse Lewy neu rites are the pathological hallmarks of degenerating neurons in the brains of patients suffering from Parkinson's disease (PD). Recently, the presynaptic protein alpha-synuclein was shown to be a major component of Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites. This study demonstrates for the first time that extensive and thin alpha-synuclein-immunoreactive inclusions a re present in the axonal processes of neurons. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
