Which neurotransmitter are invovled in causing Alzhemier's?

Answer 1

Alzheimer's disease is not caused by a lack of proper neurotransmitters. It is "a progressive disease of the brain that is characterized by impairment of memory and a disturbance in at least one other thinking function (for example, language or perception of reality). Many scientists believe that AD results from an increase in the production or accumulation of a specific protein (beta-amyloid protein) that leads to nerve cell death. Loss of nerve cells in strategic brain areas, in turn, causes deficits in the neurotransmitters, which are the brain's chemical messengers For more, go to Alzheimer's Disease Index."

In the Wikipedia, the neurotransmitters listed under Neuropathology are "Levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine are reduced. Levels of the neurotransmitters serotonin, norepinephrine, and somatostatin are also often reduced. Glutamate levels are usually elevated".

I hope this answers your question.
