| acetylcholinesterase |
an enzyme that degrades the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the brain and other tissues of the body. Acetylcholine is a chemical substance that sends signals between nerve cells (called neurotransmission) and is therefore called a neurotransmitter. Neurotransmitters are secreted by neurons (nerve cells) into the space between neurons called the synapse. Acetylcholine is a primary neurotransmitter in the brain, and is associated with memory and cognition. ...
