Alzheimer's disease is associated with a significant decrease in the cholinergic input to the neocortex. In a rat model of this depletion, we analyzed the subsequent long-term changes in cholinergic fiber density in two well-defined areas of the frontal and parietal cortices: Fr1, the primary motor cortex, and HL, the hindlimb area of the somatosensory (parietal) cortex, two cortical cholinergic fields that receive inputs from the nucleus basalis magnocellularis (nBM). A specific cholinergic… Expand

Neurotrophin receptor p75 affords clearance of amyloid beta in Alzheimer’s disease and provides targeting route to basal forebrain cholinergic neurons
TLDR
New functions of p75NTR described in this thesis make significant contribution to the knowledge of AD and can be utilized further for targeted delivery of neurotherapeutics to BFCNs with possible minimal off-side effects. Expand
Neurotrophic factors rescue basal forebrain cholinergic neurons and improve performance on a spatial learning test
TLDR
The notion that administration of neurotrophic factors can rescue basal forebrain cholinergic neurons and improve learning and memory performance in rats is supported. Expand
Effects of Huperzin‐A on the Beta‐amyloid accumulation in the brain and skeletal muscle cells of a rat model for Alzheimer’s disease
TLDR
It was found that Hup‐A contributed to the healing process in rats for damage occurring both in the brain and in the neuro‐muscular system. Expand
Nitric oxide donor molsidomine promotes retrieval of object recognition memory in a model of cognitive deficit induced by 192 IgG-saporin
TLDR
The results show that although MOLS failed to block the cholinergic neurons loss induced by 192‐IgG‐SAP, it avoided the neuronal damage progression. Expand
AUTEN-67 (Autophagy Enhancer-67) Hampers the Progression of Neurodegenerative Symptoms in a Drosophila model of Huntington's Disease.
TLDR
It is shown that AUTEN-67 impedes the progression of neurodegenerative symptoms characterizing HD, and that autophagy is a promising therapeutic target for treating this pathology. Expand
Cholinergic system neurochemistry toward therapeutic perspectives
TLDR
Some selected concepts are mentioned as illustrative examples to put a spot light on the cholinergic system from both functional and therapeutical viewpoints. Expand

Selective Immunolesions of Cholinergic Neurons in Mice: Effects on Neuroanatomy, Neurochemistry, and Behavior
TLDR
The results indicate that a specific cholinergic immunotoxin for mice has been developed and suggest possible functional differences in the mouse and rat cholinerg systems, which may be of particular significance in attempts to develop animal models of human diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease. Expand
Selective Lesioning of the Basal Forebrain Cholinergic System by Intraventricular 192 IgG–saporin: Behavioural, Biochemical and Stereological Studies in the Rat
TLDR
The results confirm the usefulness of the 192 IgG‐saporin toxin for selective and profound lesions of the basal forebrain cholinergic neurons and provide further support for a role of theBasal forebrain Cholinergic system in cognitive functions. Expand
1921gG-saporin-induced selective lesion of cholinergic basal forebrain system: neurochemical effects on cholinergic neurotransmission in rat cerebral cortex and hippocampus
TLDR
The data suggest that the novel cholinergic immunotoxin 192IgG-saporin is an appropriate tool to mimic Cholinergic hypofunction in the hippocampal formation and cerebral cortex and selective and specific immunolesion of cholinergy cells in medial septal nuclei differentially affects cholinerg receptors in particular hippocampal subfields. Expand
Selective immunolesion of cholinergic neurons leads to long-term changes in 5-HT2A receptor levels in hippocampus and frontal cortex
TLDR
The results show that cholinergic deafferentation leads to decreased frontal cortex and increased hippocampal 5-HT(2A) receptor levels, probably a consequence of the interaction between the serotonergic and the cholinerential system that may vary depending on the brain region. Expand
Long-term effects of basal forebrain lesions on cholinergic, noradrenergic and serotonergic markers in mouse neocortex
TLDR
The acute and chronic sequelae of basal forebrain electrolytic lesion on cortical synaptic chemistry have been examined and no significant changes in beta-adrenergic receptors were apparent at any time despite a permanent and bilateral reduction of norepinephrine levels after the lesion. Expand
Compensatory changes in cortical cholinergic innervation in the rat following an immunotoxic lesion.
TLDR
Following a cholinergic-specific lesion, a compensatory mechanism is activated in the basal forebrain cholinerential system, such that surviving neurons, projecting to the same target, extend their terminals to occupy the denervated area. Expand
Destruction of the cholinergic basal forebrain using immunotoxin to rat NGF receptor: modeling the cholinergic degeneration of Alzheimer's disease
TLDR
Results indicate that 192-saporin treated rats can be used to model a key feature of Alzheimer's disease and that anti-neuronal immunotoxins are a powerful approach to selective neural lesioning. Expand
A comparison of the distribution of central cholinergic neurons as demonstrated by acetylcholinesterase pharmacohistochemistry and choline acetyltransferase immunohistochemistry
TLDR
Close correspondence was observed in the distribution of labeled neurons obtained by the two histochemical procedures in the midbrain and pontine tegmentum, including the laterodorsal tegmental nucleus, some areas in the caudal pontine and bulbar reticular formation, and the central gray of the closed medulla oblongata. Expand
192IgG-saporin-induced immunotoxic lesions of cholinergic basal forebrain system differentially affect glutamatergic and GABAergic markers in cortical rat brain regions
TLDR
The differential changes in glutamate and GABA receptor subtypes following cholinergic immunolesion might be regarded as the consequence of a cortical reorganization compensating for the reduced cholinoceptive presynaptic input. Expand
Neocortical cholinergic innervation: A description of extrinsic and intrinsic components in the rat
TLDR
The results indicate that approximately 70% of the cholinergic innervation in the frontoparietal cortex is derived from acetylcholinesterase positive neurons in the peripallidal nucleus basalis, whereas the remainder appears to be localized in cortical intrinsic neurons. Expand
