Many neuropsychological conditions such as anxiety and depression are directly related to the imbalance of neurotransmitters. Common neurotransmitters include acetylcholine, dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin etc.
Acetylcholine serves both excitatory and inhibitory functions, which means it can both speed up and slow down nerve signals. In the central nervous system, its role is primarily excitatory. It plays a role in arousal, memory, learning, and neuroplasticity.cetylcholine works together with the neurotransmitter dopamine to enable smooth movements. When there is an imbalance between acetylcholine and dopamine, movements can be shaky and uneven, a hallmark of Parkinsonâs disease. References: 1  Alzheimerâs disease medication fact sheet.
