Abstract excerpt
The influence of beta-amyloid on cholinergic neurotransmission was studied by measuring alterations in nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in autopsy brain tissue from subjects carrying the Swedish amyloid precursor protein (APP) 670/671 mutation. Significant reductions in numbers of nAChRs were observed in various cortical regions of the Swedish 670/671 APP mutation family subjects (-73 to -87%) as well...
