Summary

Alpha-synuclein pathology represents one of the most critical and intensively studied mechanisms in modern neuroscience, constituting a hallmark of several neurodegenerative diseases collectively termed synucleinopathies[@spillantini2000]. These disorders include Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia w
