Alzheimer's patients exhibit a deficiency in the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
Is it true that Alzheimer's patients exhibit a deficiency in the neurotransmitter acetylcholine?
Yes. Multiple studies and the foundational cholinergic hypothesis of Alzheimer's disease support the finding that patients exhibit a deficiency in the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
Verdict: SUPPORTED · 4 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The retrieved literature consistently supports the long-standing cholinergic hypothesis of Alzheimer's disease, which posits that patients experience degeneration of cholinergic neurons and a consequential reduction in acetylcholine levels.
