Cholinergic Involvement in Neurodegenerative Diseases, Volume 211 reviews cholinergic function in the brain as it relates to Neurodegenerative disorders. Coverage includes Alzheimer’s, dementia, Down Syndrome, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, ALS, and more. In addition, the anatomy of the cholinergic system is described as well as the distribution and function of receptors.
- Discusses the cholinergic system as it relates to neurodegenerative diseases
- Encompasses broad, comprehensive content on dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, ALS and more
- Covers anatomy and the distribution/function of receptors
