Recent studies indicate that there is a marked reduction in trkA-containing nucleus basalis neurons in end-stage Alzheimer's disease (AD). We used unbiased stereological counting procedures to determine whether these changes extend to individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) without dementia

## Abstract Recent studies indicate that trkA expression is reduced in endβstage Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, understanding the neuropathologic correlates of early cognitive decline, as well as the changes that underlie the transition from nondemented mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to AD, ar
Immunocytochemistry for choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and the vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) was used to examine the expression of these linked cholinergic markers in human basal forebrain, including cases with early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Previous neurochemical studies
Though the strong affinity of Congo red and thioflavin S for amyloid deposits has been known for a long time, the binding mechanism of these biological dyes to amyloid sites is still not understood. In the present work, the competition of these two dyes for binding in Alzheimer amyloid is investigat
## Abstract Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) plays a pivotal role in cellular lipid efflux and modulation of lipoprotein metabolism. PLTP is distributed widely in the central nervous system (CNS), is synthesized by glia and neurons, and is active in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The aims of this s
