SNCA and Parkinson disease: A recent study reported a significantly higher burden of alpha-synuclein in brainstem regions (locus coeruleus and raphe nuclei), hypothalamic regions (paramammillary nuclei and the posterior hypothalamus), subcortical/limbic regions (amygdala and thalamus), and also Tau pathology present in cortical regions (entorhinal cortex) of PD patients with sleep disorders when compared to patients without sleep disorders [30].
