Evidence
At 18 weeks, forebrain sections showed human alpha-synuclein-immunoreactive axonal projections in the hypothalamus after the protein had been expressed only in medullary neurons, interpreted as spread along hypothalamic fibres that reach the medulla.
Named in the paper
“hypothalamus” and “medulla oblongata (MO)”
Made by
an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
Checked by

a second AI model (claude-opus-5) agrees, 2026-10-09

“Hypothalamic hα-syn-positive axons at 18 weeks are shown in Fig 2I and the topographic plot, consistent with hypothalamic fibres reaching the medulla.”

Status

Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
