Interaction of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons with the glucocorticoid system in stress regulation and cognitive impairment

A substantial number of studies on basal forebrain cholinergic neurons (BFCN) have provided compelling evidence for their role in the etiology of stress, cognitive aging, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and other neurodegenerative diseases. BFCN project to a broad range of cortical sites and limbic struct...
