Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acetylcholine is one of the primary neurotransmitters involved in memory and learning. A deficiency in acetylcholine has been implicated in various memory problems, including Alzheimer's disease, and loss of acetylcholine-secreting neurons is a hallmark of this condition. Therefore, it is likely that acetylcholine is involved in Sara's memory problem.
