Acetylcholine was the first neurotransmitter discovered. It is the neurotransmitter associated with learning, thought, arousal, and activation of muscles. Acetylcholine enables movement by sending messages from motor neurons to muscles. This neurotransmitter is also linked with memory. Those with low acetylcholine can have Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease is associated with problems in memory, language, and thinking. For example, those with Alzheimer’s will slowly forget people’s names or past memories and will easily get lost in thought.
