title: Left-right symmetry of neuronal cell counts in the nucleus basalis of Meynert of control and of Alzheimer-diseased brains.
abstract: The nerve cell counts indicated that the neuronal population of the nucleus basalis of Meynert (nbM) was bilaterally symmetrical in both control and Alzheimer-diseased brains. In addition, the discussion deals with the possibility that a loss of neurons from rostral vs caudal parts of the nbM may occur during different stages of the disease.
