the selective vulnerability of cholinergic neurons in certain neurodegenerative diseases ( e.g. , alzheimer disease , motor neuron disorders ) might result from the abnormally accelerated liberation of choline ( to be used as precursor of accho ) from membrane phospholipids , resulting in altered membrane composition and function and compromised neuronal viability .
