beta-Amyloid excitotoxicity in rat magnocellular nucleus basalis. Effect of cortical deafferentation on cerebral blood flow regulation and implications for Alzheimer’s disease

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia with a still largely unclear etiopathology. One of the factors that may directly contribute to the development and progression of the disorder is the abundant accumulation of beta-amyloid peptides (A beta) in senile plaques. In the present account we review coherent in vivo experimental evidence that A beta infusion into the rat magnocellular nucleus basalis (MBN) induces abrupt and persistent behavioral dysfunctions, perturbations of…
