Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter associated with the decline in memory in Alzheimer's disease. In Alzheimer's disease, there is a decrease in the amount of acetylcholine in the brain. Therefore, medications that increase acetylcholine levels, such as cholinesterase inhibitors like rivastigmine, are used to treat the symptoms of the disease. Dopamine is not usually associated with Alzheimer's disease, although it is involved in other neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease.
