Thalamic nicotinic receptors implicated in disturbed consciousness in dementia with Lewy bodies

Thalamic nicotinic receptors implicated in disturbed consciousness in dementia with Lewy bodies

Disturbances of consciousness (DOC) are common in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Following previous findings of preserved temporal cortical high-affinity nicotinic binding relating to DOC, we investigated this receptor in thalamus, an area of high nicotinic receptor concentration, implicated in co...
