Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alzheimer's disease is associated with a deficiency in the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) in the brain. ACh plays a key role in learning, memory, and cognitive function. Patients with Alzheimer's experience degeneration of neurons that produce ACh, which contributes to the cognitive decline observed in the disease. The other pairings are incorrect: Pick's disease is associated with tau protein abnormalities, Parkinson's disease is associated with dopamine deficiency, and Huntington's disease is associated with dysfunction in the neurotransmitter systems that involve glutamate and GABA.
