Multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by α-synuclein pathology, disrupted iron homeostasis and impaired neurochemical transmission. Considering the critical role of iron in neurotransmitter synthesis and transport, our study aims to identify distinct patterns of whole-brain iron accumulation in MSA and PD, and to elucidate the corresponding neurochemical substrates.
