Changes in the two of the main excitatory neurotransmitter systems associated with dementia severity in these syndromes will be discussed here.

Cholinergic neurotransmission in the cerebral cortex is severely impaired in AD and the loss of neurons from the cholinergic nucleus of Meynert is well documented.
