We've put together several well-characterized cholinergic neuron markers to help you identify your neuronal population.
Cholinergic neurons, which mainly use the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, play critical roles in fine-tuning brain function. Their progressive loss is one of the hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases with cognitive deficits such as Alzheimer’s disease.
