Definición
- Neurotransmitter involved in learning and memory processes. In particular, in the hippocampus, ACh plays a role in relational memory, coordination of brain systems memory (amygdala for emotional memory, the striatum for procedural memory). A high level of ACh in the hippocampus facilitates the encoding of information in memory, whereas a low level of ACh allows the consolidation of new memories (Micheau & Marighetto, 2011). ACh receptors are nicotinic and muscarinic receptors.
