Positron emission tomography (PET) and neuropathology studies, respectively, provide additional evidence for lower SERT availability in PD in the hypothalamus and thalamus (Pagano et al., 2017), and abnormal hippocampal SERT-expressing neurons in PD and DLB (Azmitia and Nixon, 2008). Here, SLC6A4 is linked to Lewy body dementia.
