Q164 / 200 · NEET 2009 (Screening) · Zoology
Alzhimer disease in humans is associated with the deficiency of
- Adopamine
- Bglutamic acid
- Correct answerCacetylcholine
- DGamma Amino Butyric Acid (GABA)
Solution
Alzhimer disease in humans is associated with the deficiency of acetylcholine. Alzhimer's Disease (AD) is an irreversible, progressive disorder, in which brain cells (neurons) deteriorate, resulting in the loss of cognitive functions, primarily memory, judgement and reasoning, movement coordination and pattern recognition. In advanced stages of the disease, all memory and mental functioning may be lost.
Dopamine and glutamic acid are excitatory neurotransmitters, while Gama Amino Butyric Acid (GABA) is inhibitory neurotransmitter.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
