They're localized to the green/sprouted spots. And to a lesser extent the skin.
I'm not sure how the skin changes in the process, but I do know that the white flesh has minimal changes.
According to German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), they provide a more in depth look at it [1]. Fresher potato's are okay with skin on. Damaged, or overly sprouted potato's are not.

So what's the deal... cut the sprouts and they're fine? Cut the sprouts and peel them and they're fine?
The bit about not storing potatoes and onions together is helpful, though... I always do that. Time to go separate those.
