Fourteen months after receiving bilateral ibotenic acid lesions of the nucleus basalis magnocellaris (NBM), male rats demonstrated impairment in spatial learning in a water maze task, increased incidence of high voltage spindles, and significant depletion of cortical choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity. Histological evaluation revealed decreased acetylcholinesterase (AChE) staining but no plaque-like structures in the cortex.

D000110 Acetylcholinesterase An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ACETYLCHOLINE to CHOLINE and acetate. In the CNS, this enzyme plays a role in the function of peripheral neuromuscular junctions. EC 3.1.1.7. Acetylcholine Hydrolase,Acetylthiocholinesterase,Hydrolase, Acetylcholine
D000544 Alzheimer Disease A degenerative disease of the BRAIN characterized by the insidious onset of DEMENTIA. Impairment of MEMORY, judgment, attention span, and problem solving skills are followed by severe APRAXIAS and a global loss of cognitive abilities. The condition primarily occurs after age 60, and is marked pathologically by severe cortical atrophy and the triad of SENILE PLAQUES; NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES; and NEUROPIL THREADS.
