Nucleus Of The Vertical Limb Neurons is an important cell type in the neurobiology of neurodegenerative diseases. This page provides detailed information about its structure, function, and role in disease processes.
The Nucleus of the Vertical Limb of the Diagonal Band (VLL or DBV) is a basal forebrain structure that provides the majority of cholinergic innervation to the hippocampal formation. It plays essential roles in memory, attention, and spatial navigation. [1]
