α-Synuclein induced cholesterol lowering increases tonic and reduces depolarization-evoked synaptic vesicle recycling and glutamate release

Abstract α-Synuclein (α-syn) is a key molecule linked to Parkinson’s disease pathology. Physiologically, the monomeric α-syn in the presynaptic termini is involved in regulation of neurotransmission, but the pathophysiology of extracellular monomeric α-syn is still unknown. Utilizing both in vivo an...
