Summary

Automatically generated

Here, we present a detailed protocol to study neuronal α-synuclein accumulation in primary mouse dopamine neurons. Phosphorylated α-synuclein aggregates in neurons are induced with pre-formed α-synuclein fibrils. Automated imaging of immunofluorescently labeled cells and unbiased image analysis make this robust protocol suitable for medium-to-high throughput screening of drugs that inhibit α-synuclein accumulation.
