Heterogeneity of histaminergic neurons in the tuberomammillary nucleus of the rat.

20 May 2009 Histaminergic neurons of the hypothalamic tuberomammillary nuclei (TMN) send projections to the whole brain. Early anatomical studies described histaminergic neurons as a homogeneous cell group, but recent evidence indicates that histaminergic ... Read more...

The role of the p75 neurotrophin receptor in cholinergic dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease.

18 May 2009 Degeneration of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons is a common feature of Alzheimer's disease and is proposed to be an early and key event in the condition's etiology. This review discusses recent findings that strongly link the p75 neurotrophin ... Read more...

Age-associated leukoaraiosis and cortical cholinergic deafferentation.

19 Apr 2009 OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between age-associated MRI leukoaraiosis or white matter hyperintensities (WMH) and cortical acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity. BACKGROUND: One possible mechanism of cognitive decline in elderly ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Basal Nucleus of Meynert'

Definition: A group of nerve cells in the substantia innominata that has wide projections to the neocortex and is rich in acetylcholine and choline acetyltransferase. In Parkinson and Alzheimer diseases the nucleus undergoes degeneration.
