Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the degeneration and loss of neurons, particularly those that produce the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. A deficiency in acetylcholine is associated with memory loss and other cognitive impairments that are commonly seen in Alzheimer's patients. Dopamine, norepinephrine, and GABA are not as closely linked to Alzheimer's disease as acetylcholine.
