Distinct subsets of nucleus basalis neurons exhibit similar sensitivity to excitotoxicity

Excitotoxic lesions in the magnocellular nucleus basalis (MBN) lead to a significant damage of cholinergic neurons concomitant with increased amyloid precursor protein (APP) expression in the cerebral cortex. However, the sensitivity of non-cholinergic neurons to excitotoxicity, and changes of APP expression in the damaged MBN are still elusive. Hence, we performed multiple-labeling immunocytochemistry for choline-acetyltransferase (ChAT), neuron-specific nuclear protein (NeuN) and APP 4, 24,…
