Schematic representation of the processes required for αS spreading. (A) Seeding results in the formation of aggregates from monomeric protein, and amplification involves the multiplication of existing aggregates. (B) The seeding process alone would not lead to efficient spreading due to the possibility that the formed aggregates would be diluted out. (C) The combination of seeding and amplification can lead to continuous aggregate spreading.
