Dementia of the Alzheimer's Type is not caused by any one particular neurotransmitter. In fact, the causes are multifactorial, ranging from genetic (with changes often found on chrosome #1, chromosome #21, and others) to environmental (various proposed toxins) to psychosocial (with some individual not showing symptoms despite significant changes to brain parenchyma, and others showing significant symptoms in spite of minimal evidence of structural changes to the brain).
At any rate, the more one reads, solves puzzles, and otherwise engages in cognitive activities, the less likely they are to show symptoms of this disease. So it's "use it or lost it", as they say!

What is the neurotransmitter that is deficient in huntington's disease?
The neurotransmitter that has been thought to be deficient is enkephalin. The striatal neurons in the caudate and putamen degenerate, causing decrease release of enkaphalin, leading to decreased activity of the indirect pathway of the basal ganglia. There is decreased inhibition on the globus pallidus externus, leading to increased inhibition of the subthalamic nulceus. This inactivates the indirect pathway, leading to hyperkinetic movements.
