Bisphenol-A Neurotoxic Effects on Basal Forebrain Cholinergic Neurons In Vitro and In Vivo
The widely used plasticizer bisphenol-A (BPA) is well-known for producing neurodegeneration and cognitive disorders, following acute and long-term exposure.

The basal forebrain contributes to cue-based spatial navigation performance inAlzheimer’s disease [PDF]
The basal forebrain degenerates in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and this process is believed to contribute to the cognitive decline observed in AD patients.

Basal forebrain modulation of olfactory coding in vivo
Sensory perception is one of the most fundamental brain functions allowing individuals to properly interact and adapt to a constantly changing environment. This process requires the integration of bottom-up and top-down neuronal activity that is centrally mediated by the basal forebrain, a brain region that has been linked to a series of cognitive ...

Basal forebrain atrophy correlates with amyloid β burden in Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
The brains of patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease (AD) have three classical pathological hallmarks: amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques, tau tangles, and neurodegeneration, including that of cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain.

Basal forebrain degeneration precedes and predicts the cortical spread of Alzheimer’s pathology [PDF]
Whether Alzheimer’s disease originates in basal forebrain or entorhinal cortex remains highly debated. Here the authors use structural magnetic resonance data from a longitudinal sample of participants stratified by cerebrospinal biomarker and clinical ...

Basal Forebrain Cholinergic System and Memory [PDF]
Basal forebrain cholinergic neurons constitute a way station for many ascending and descending pathways. These cholinergic neurons have a role in eliciting cortical activation and arousal. It is well established that they are mainly involved in cognitive processes requiring increased levels of arousal, attentive states and/or cortical activation with ...

Basal forebrain subcortical projections [PDF]
The basal forebrain (BF) contains at least three distinct populations of neurons (cholinergic, glutamatergic, and GABA-ergic) across its different regions (medial septum, diagonal band, magnocellular preoptic area, and substantia innominata). Much attention has focused on the BF's ascending projections to cortex, but less is known about descending ...

Adolescent binge ethanol-induced loss of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons and neuroimmune activation are prevented by exercise and indomethacin. [PDF]
Basal forebrain cholinergic neurons mature in adolescence coinciding with development of adult cognitive function. Preclinical studies using the rodent model of adolescent intermittent ethanol (AIE; 5.0 g/kg, i.g., 2-days on/2-days off from postnatal day
