Type:
Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) plays a crucial role in the development, maintenance, and survival of certain neurons. Its connection to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has been well-studied, particularly because of its importance in cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain, which are notably affected in AD.
-Loss of NGF signaling contributes to cholinergic deficits, a hallmark of AD pathology
