    The study constructed a single-nucleus transcriptomic atlas of the basal forebrain across various developmental stages and ages.

  • 2

    Distinct molecular regulatory patterns and age-related pathways were identified, highlighting changes in cholinergic neurons during ageing.

  • 3

    Four potential regulatory networks linked to cholesterol metabolism, DNA damage repair, and death receptor signaling were discovered in 5xFAD mice.

  • 4

    The cholinergic subtype CN-2 showed increased activity of regulons associated with Srebf2 and Zmiz1, affecting key hub genes.
