Neurological disorders
Alterations in the levels of specific neurotransmitters have been observed in various neurological disorders, including:
● Parkinson disease
● schizophrenia
● depression
● Alzheimer disease
Alzheimer’s Disease:
●This is a neurodegenerative disorder that can be characterized by memory and learning impairments. ●Acetylcholine receptors are decreased in AD.
Parkinson’s Disease: Dopamine depletion leads to Parkinson’s disease.
Depression:
There is evidence of abnormalities dopamine and serotonin transmission.
Anxiety disorders:
Reduced GABA activity in the brain.
Schizophrenia:
The presence of excessive dopamine inside the frontal lobes causes schizophrenia.
Epilepsy:
Due to lack of inhibitory neurotransmitters like GABA or due to the presence of excessive excitatory neurotransmitters like glutamate.
