Evidence
The amygdala in the medial temporal lobe was listed among the predilection sites containing human alpha-synuclein-labelled neurites at 18 weeks after vagal vector injection, attributed to its direct fibre connection with the medulla.

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

“The amygdala is named in the results as a predilection site for hα-syn-labelled neurites, linked to direct medullary projections.”
