"I have done a little studying on Parkinson's Disease and have read about Lewy bodies. Some research suggests that the cell's protein disposal system may fail in people with PD, causing proteins to build up to harmful levels and trigger cell death. I also read a study that suggests there is evidence that clumps of protein that develop inside brain cells of people with PD may contribute to the death of neurons."

Lewy bodies are deposits of the protein alpha-synuclein. Researchers do not yet know exactly why Lewy bodies form or what role they play in the disease, although there is some speculation. If you have heard of these, share what you have learned with the interviewer. If you have not, it is OK to say so. It is important to remember that when you are asked a question, if you do not know the answer, be honest and show an interest in learning.

"Lewy Bodies are protein deposits found on the brain of patients suffereing from Parkinson's disease."
