Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter involved in both movement and memory. It is synthesized by cholinergic neurons in both the peripheral nervous system and central nervous system.

Note: A is not correct because acetylcholine is primarily found in motor neurons and not sensory neurons. C is not correct because glial cells do not synthesize acetylcholine. D is not correct because decreased dopamine, not acetylcholine, is the primary neurotransmitter involved in Parkinson's disease.
