Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glutamate is the primary neurotransmitter involved in learning and memory in the brain, and any depletion of this neurotransmitter would therefore have a significant impact on these cognitive processes. GABA, serotonin, and endorphins are not as directly involved in learning and memory as glutamate.
