α‐Synuclein pathology is associated with neuronal degeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD) and considered to sequentially spread across the brain (Braak stages). According to a new hypothesis of distinct α‐synuclein spreading directions based on the initial site of pathology, the “brain‐first” spreading subtype would be associated with a more asymmetric cerebral and nigrostriatal pathology than the “body‐first” subtype.
