Commas

suggestion

"Leigh syndrome: distribution tends to be symmetrical in periaqueductal grey matter, medulla, brainstem, midbrain, putamen (not always present, but characteristic), globus pallidus, heads of the caudate nucleus, substantia nigra, subthalamic nuclei and thalami"

Line 8:97 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.

"Leigh syndrome: may involve the dentate nuclei, inferior cerebellar peduncles, periaqueductal grey matter, medulla, brainstem, midbrain, basal ganglia, substantia nigra, and thalami"

Semicolons

suggestion

"cyanide poisoning: affects the basal ganglia, especially the striatum; the sensorimotor cortex may also be involved"

Line 11:98 · Use semicolons judiciously.
