Abnormal accumulation of alpha-synuclein (α-syn) is a central pathologic hallmark of synucleinopathies such as Parkinson's disease (PD), with rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) widely recognized as a prodromal manifestation of these disorders. Although several mouse models recapitulate the α-syn pathology, most fail to reproduce the brainstem-originating pathology propagation proposed by Braak and...
