Abstract excerpt
α-Synuclein (α-syn) is a key protein in Parkinson's disease (PD), and its abnormal accumulation is implicated only not in the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra but also in impairment of olfactory bulb (OB) in PD. Olfactory dysfunction could arise from these OB changes as an early symptom in PD. We reported previously the impairment of neuronal stem cell (NSC) proliferation in the subventricular...
