Cellular Expression of α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Protein in the Temporal Cortex in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease— A Stereological Approach

Cognitive deficits in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease are closely related to disturbed cholinergic transmission. The decrease of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor protein has been assessed by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. Stereology, however, has not been used to assess num...
