α‐synuclein oligomers and fibrils: a spectrum of species, a spectrum of toxicities

This review article provides an overview of the different species that α‐synuclein aggregates can populate. It also attempts to reconcile conflicting views regarding the cytotoxic roles of oligomers versus fibrils. α‐synuclein, while highly dynamic in the monomeric state, can access a large number o...
