Evidence for a protective effect of the loss of α4-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on Aβ-related neuropathology in Tg2576 mice

INTRODUCTION: Loss of cholinergic neurons as well as α4β2* (* = containing) nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) is a prominent feature of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Specifically, amyloid β (Aβ), the principal pathogenic factor of AD, is a high affinity ligand for nAChRs. Yet, the pathophysiolo...
