Advances in pathological study of amygdala in common neurodegenerative diseases

Abstract

The amygdala is an important structure of the limbic system. It is one of the important lesional area of some common neurodegenerative diseases and is the pathological basis of clinical symptoms. This article reviews the structure and function of the amygdala, the distribution and coexistence of amyloid β-protein (Aβ), tau protein, α-synuclein (α-Syn) and TAR DNA-binding protein-43 (TDP-43) in the amygdala of common neurodegenerative diseases.
