Sigurdsson HP, Hunter H, Alcock L, Wilson R, Pienaar I, Want E, Baker MR, Taylor JP, Rochester L, Yarnall AJ
BMC Neurology · 2023
Key finding
Recent theories suggest that symptoms of PD may arise due to spread of Lewy-body pathology where the process begins in the gut and propagate transynaptically via the vagus nerve to the central nervous system.
