Changes to Neurotransmitter Function

An [blank_start]interference[blank_end] in the nervous system caused by neurotransmitter [blank_start]malfunction[blank_end] can result in a [blank_start]degeneration[blank_end] of neurological [blank_start]function[blank_end] causing diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimers disease.

Neurological degeneration resulting in Parkinson's or Alzheimers is caused by an excess of neurotransmitters

Neurological degeneration resulting in Parkinson's or Alzheimers is caused by a loss of neurotransmitters

A lack of important memory neurotransmitter (acetylcholine) caused by plaques and tangles in the brain. This results in:

Insoluble clumps in between nerve cells that secrete toxic substances and kill neighbouring neurons are called:

Twisted neurons that prevent neurotransmission from occurring are called:

Symptoms of Alzheimers

Prevention for Alzheimers

A loss of dopamine due to cells in the basal ganglia generating is called:

The basal ganglia is responsible for movement, and lack of dopamine in the basal ganglia provides movement difficulties

Parkinson's Disease only occurs because of genetic
