ALT “Lewy bodies in the substantia nigra of a Parkinson’s disease patient, immuno-stained with the 5G4 antibody that labels only the disease-associated α-synuclein. From left to right, 1) a normal nerve cell with neuromelanin, a diseased nerve cell with: 2) pre-aggregates of α-synuclein, 3) small inclusions, and 4) a Lewy body. In rare cases, a nerve cell can be seen with 3 Lewy bodies! After a long journey, the life of a nerve cell comes to an end, leaving the Lewy body it formed.”
