Basal nucleus
A collection of nerve cells in the basal region of the telencephalon. The basal ganglia are considered to be an important producer of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. In Alzheimer's patients and, in some cases, Parkinson's patients, the basal ganglia degenerate. As a result, they produce less and less acetylcholine, which neurologists associate with some of the symptoms of these diseases.
