Summary Introduction
To determine:
A neurotransmitter imbalance that lies behind Alzheimer disease. Based on the information that the drugs that improve early symptoms of Alzheimer disease do so by slowing the breakdown of acetylcholine in synaptic clefts in certain parts of the brain.
Introduction:
Synaptic transmission is a process of neuron communication. The two neurons are physically separated from each other by a synaptic cleft or gap. The process of synaptic transmission is carried out by neurotransmitters which are a chemical released from the synaptic end of a neuron.
A neurotransmitter helps in the passing of information in the form of nerve impulses. It is a one-way process that carries the information as nerve impulses from presynaptic axon to the terminal of the axon.
