Acetylcholine in Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias surveys the current state of knowledge on the cholinergic system in rodents, primates and humans. The book's authors discuss aging and AD from system, cellular, molecular and genetic aspects. The book critically evaluates the role of the cholinergic system as it relates to clinical symptoms, therapy and pathogenesis. It follows the history of the cholinergic hypothesis of memory and AD from the seventies/early eighties of the previous century to the current view of disease-modifying roles. The book promotes the idea that the organization of the cholinergic system and its purported homeostatic role may contribute to its higher vulnerability to amyloid pathology of AD.Finally, it discusses current trends of AD prevention from a functional medicine perspective.
Dr. Zaborszky MD, PhD is a Distinguished Professor of Neuroscience at Rutgers University. He is the founding Editor-in-Chief of Brain Structure and Function. Author of over 115 scientific papers, book chapters and a monograph. His work on the basal forebrain cholinergic system has greatly advanced in the field of neural basis of attention and cognition, as well as basic and translational research of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. His research received generous support from the NIH/NINDS for over 28 years. He was President, New York Hungarian Scientific Society (2012-2016), President, Association of American Hungarian Academicians (2018-2020), Foreign Member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS, 2007-); Board of Trustees Award for Research Excellence (President, Rutgers University, 2016), The Knight Cross, Order of Merit (President of Hungary, 2013). Chair of the Newark Faculty Council of Rutgers University (2016/2017).
