Correct Answer:
acetylcholine
Explanation:
Alzheimer disease in humans is associated with the deficiency of acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter produced by neurons referred to as cholinergic neurons.

Acetylcholine is synthesized from choline and acetyl coenzyme-A through the action of the enezyme choline acetyltransferase and becomes packaged into membrane bound vesicles.
