  "summary": "Background Parkinson disease (PD) is driven by alpha synuclein (alpha syn) aggregation and affects vulnerable dopaminergic and GABAergic neurons, and its incidence rises dramatically with age. In our alpha syn mouse model, motor impairment required both alpha syn oligomers and the aging milieu, and pharmacological inhibition of the age hyperactivated Rho GTPase CDC42 with CASIN fully restored…",
