    A brain tissue with Lewy bodies. The first major proposed cause of neuronal death in Parkinson's disease is the bundling, or oligomerization, of proteins.The protein alpha-synuclein has increased presence in the brains of Parkinson's Disease patients and, as α-synuclein is insoluble, it aggregates to form Lewy bodies (shown to left) in neurons.
