Autism is characterized by qualitative abnormalities in behavior and higher order cognitive
functions. Minicolumnar irregularities observed in autism provide a neurologically sound …

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the selective vulnerability of specific neuronal
populations, the molecular signatures of which are largely unknown. To identify and …

Parkinson's disease ( PD ) and dementia with L ewy bodies ( DLB ) are among the human
synucleinopathies, which show alpha‐synuclein immunoreactive neuronal and/or glial …

Abnormalities in face perception are a core feature of social disabilities in autism. Recent
functional magnetic resonance imaging studies showed that patients with autism could perform …

Introduction Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression follows a specific spreading pattern,
emphasizing the need to characterize those brain areas that degenerate first. The brainstem's …

BACKGROUND: The basal forebrain cholinergic system (BFCS) is known to undergo
moderate neurodegenerative changes during normal aging as well as severe atrophy in …

Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the degeneration and loss of cholinergic neurones
in the nucleus basalis Meynert, located within the substantia innominata at the ventral …

Pathological alterations to the locus coeruleus, the major source of noradrenaline in the
brain, are histologically evident in early stages of neurodegenerative diseases. Novel MRI …

Several studies have pointed to alterations in mean volumes, neuron densities and total neuron
numbers in the caudate nucleus (CN), putamen, nucleus accumbens (NA), mediodorsal …

Histopathological studies in Alzheimer's disease (AD) suggest severe and region-specific
neurodegeneration of the basal forebrain cholinergic system (BFCS). Here, we studied the …
