Patient and carer participation in old age psychiatry in England. Part I: a systemic perspective of the historical and policy context.

abstract：:Cholinergic deficits are a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Lewy body dementia (LBD). The nucleus basalis of Meynert (NBM) provides the major source of cortical cholinergic input; studying its functional connectivity might, therefore, provide a tool for probing the cholinergic system and its degeneration in ne...
