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 Amyotrophic lateral sclerosisβparkinsonism dementia complex (ALS/PDC) is a distinct neurodegenerative disorder characterized by ALS pathology with neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in the spinal cord and brain. Recent clinical studies have revealed a high incidence and a high familial occu
Injection of Fluoro-Gold (FG) into the whisker pad of rats yields stable retrograde labeling of facial motoneurons. Subsequent removal of 10 mm from all facial nerve branches permanently deprives the FG-labeled motoneurons from their targets and the motoneurons gradually die. Neuronal debris is phag
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
