What is the Clinical Significance of Cholinergic Neurons?
Cholinergic neurons are implicated in several medical conditions. In Alzheimer's Disease, the loss of cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain is associated with cognitive decline. In Parkinson's Disease, changes in cholinergic neurons can affect motor control. Cholinergic dysfunction is also linked to disorders like schizophrenia and myasthenia gravis.
