Spatial Memory Impairment Without Apoptosis Induced by the Combination of Beta-Amyloid Oligomers and Cerebral Ischemia Is Related to Decreased Acetylcholine Release in Rats

The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of beta-amyloid (Aβ ) oligomers, not the fibrils that make up Aβ plaques, on spatial memory and the cholinergic system in rats. Recently, several researchers have suggested that small assemblies of Aβ, Aβ oligomers, caused memory loss during...
