Abstract

Transmission of signals is conducted by release of neurotransmitters from presynaptic neurons and uptake by postsynaptic neurons. One of the most important and abundant neurotransmitters in human body is Acetylcholine. This article discusses transmission and importance of acetylcholine and related diseases.
