Impairments of spatial memory in an Alzheimer’s disease model via degeneration of hippocampal cholinergic synapses

Impairments of spatial memory in an Alzheimer’s disease model via degeneration of hippocampal cholinergic synapses

Cholinergic neurons in the diagonal band of Broca degenerate early in Alzheimer’s disease. Here the authors show that in healthy mice, these cholinergic inputs innervate newborn neurons in the hippocampus, and that loss of this innervation in an Alzheimer’s disease model leads to impairments in spat...
