## Abstract To assess the relationship between dementia, neuronal loss, and neuropathological findings in Alzheimer's disease (AD), we counted the number of neurons, senile plaques, and neurofibrillary tangles in a highβorder association cortex. We studied the superior temporal sulcus of 34 individ

The cholinergic neurons located within the pedunculopontine nucleus (Ch5) of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD; n = 15), Parkinson's disease (PD; n = 2), and neurologically normal (n = 6) subjects were visualized immunohistochemically using choline acetyltransferase, pharmacohistochemicalIy usin
Although formation of neurofibrillary tangles is a major pathological feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the neurotransmitter content of neurofibrillary tangle-bearing neurons has not been well characterized. We studied the hippocampus of 6 patients with pathologically verified AD and 6 control su
Presenilin 1 (PS1) is a causative gene for chromosome 14-linked familial Alzheimer's disease. The gene product is known to be cleaved into N-terminal fragments (PS1-N) and C-terminal fragments (PS1-C). To understand the pathophysiological role of PS1, we conducted immunohistochemical studies using a
