Best Answer

Acetylcholine, a chemical in the brain that plays a key role in memory, learning, and many other key functions. Research has indicated that lower levels of the chemical are associated with alzheimers disease.

Glutamate, a similar chemical that is also involved in information processing, is many times dysfunctional in many cases of the disease. Namenda is an FDA approved medication for alzeheimers that regulates the glutamate activity in the brain.
