Abstract

- MA-ergic neurons send extensive projections to the rest of the brain.
- These neurons exert strong modulatory influence on hippocampal cells.
- MA-ergic systems are characterized by scarce number of cell bodies and long axons.
- These neurons retrogradely transport and are dependent on supply of growth factors.
- This might explain vulnerability of MA-ergic neurons in Alzheimer's disease.
