Loss of neurons from the substantia nigra (SN), which is sometimes observed in Alzheimer's disease (AD), was quantitatively analyzed in 10 cases of presenile AD and 19 age-matched controls. On sections from the upper and lower portions of the SN, the pigmented zone (zona compacta) and the non-pigmen
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
Studies from our laboratory have shown that in ovo exposure of chick embryos to ethanol decreases neuronal survival in culture, and shifts neurotransmitter phenotypic from cholinergic to catecholaminergic and GABAergic. In this study we attempted to determine if the shift from cholinergic expression
