Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype and both cholinergic dysfunction and synapse loss in AD. BACKGROUND: A reduction in neocortical synapses and marked losses in the cholinergic system occur in AD. It has been suggested that the number of APOE epsilon4 alleles is inversely related to choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity, thereby influencing cholinergic...
