摘要: The nerve cell counts indicated that the neuronal population of nucleus basalis Meynert (nbM) was bilaterally symmetrical in both control and Alzheimer-diseased brains. In addition, discussion deals with possibility a loss neurons from rostral vs caudal parts nbM may occur during different stages disease.
