Patients who have dementia with Lewy bodies and Alzheimer's disease show early
degeneration of the cholinergic nucleus basalis of Meynert. However, how white matter …

Previous studies have shown that the cholinergic nucleus basalis of Meynert and its white
matter projections are affected in Alzheimer's disease dementia and mild cognitive …

INTRODUCTION Degeneration of cortical cholinergic projections from the nucleus basalis of
Meynert (NBM) is characteristic of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Alzheimer's …

Cholinergic changes play a fundamental role in the natural history of dementia with Lewy
bodies and Lewy body disease in general. Despite important achievements in the field of …

Objectives To investigate in vivo degeneration of the cholinergic system in mild cognitive
impairment with Lewy bodies (MCI-LB), we studied nucleus basalis of Meynert (NBM) …

Cognitive deficits in Alzheimer's disease, specifically amnestic (memory dominant) deficits,
are associated with cholinergic degeneration in the basal forebrain. The cholinergic nucleus …

Mild cognitive impairment with the core clinical features of dementia with Lewy bodies is
recognized as a prodromal stage of dementia with Lewy bodies. Although grey matter …

The integrity of the cholinergic system plays a central role in cognitive decline both in normal
