Overview
In general, the cholinergic neuron is any neuron which mainly uses the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine. In recent years, the cholinergic system of neurons has been a main focus of research in aging and neural degradation, specifically as it relates to Alzheimer's Disease. In addition, it is known that the dysfunction and loss of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons and their cortical projections are among the earliest pathological events in Alzheimer's Disease. The following Wikipedia article will provide a detailed discussion on the cholinergic neuron and the latest cutting-edge research involving Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases.
