Figure Lengend Snippet: The expression levels of cholinergic‐related proteins in the basal forebrain and hippocampus. (A–E) The expression levels of vAchT (A), ChT1 (B), AchE (C), m1AchR (D), and m2AchR (E) in the basal forebrain after EA intervention. (F‐J) The expression levels of vAchT (F), ChT1 (G), AchE (H), m1AchR (I), and m2AchR (J) in the hippocampus after EA intervention ( n = 6 for each group, ** p < 0.01/*** p < 0.001 vs WT group, # p < 0.05/## p < 0.01/### p < 0.001 vs AD group, && p < 0.01 vs EA group). (K) Greyscale image of proteins. vAchT, vesicular acetylcholine transporter; ChT1, Choline transporter; AchE, enzyme acetylcholinesterase; m1AchR, Type‐1 muscarinic Acetylcholine receptor; m2AchR, Type‐2 muscarinic Acetylcholine receptor.
