Magnesium and Alzheimers Disease: The Cholinergic Hypothesis

The cholinergic deficit in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains the cornerstone for the understanding of chemical signal transfer. Hypofunctions of cholinergic systems are significantly involved in the signs and symptoms of senile dementia of the Alzheimer type. Cognitive deficits in AD have been widely associated with dysfunction of the cholinergic system. As a diagnostic marker of AD the activity...

Visual association pathology in preclinical Alzheimer disease.

The transition from normal aging to mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer disease (AD) is often indistinct. Imaging studies suggest early changes in posterior brain regions, including posterior temporoparietal and occipital cortex, but pathologic studies show initial changes in the medial temporal lobe with progressive neocortical involvement as cognition deteriorates. We evaluated the regiona...
