Evidence
Fibres immunoreactive for the medulla-derived human alpha-synuclein were detected in the dorsal raphe at 18 weeks after vagal vector injection, consistent with spread through axons connecting this nucleus with the medulla.

Named in the paper
“dorsal raphae” 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

“Dorsal raphe fibres immunoreactive for hα-syn are explicitly reported among midbrain spreading sites.”
