Abstract

Acetylcholine (ACh) is a leading regulatory neurotransmitter in the nervous system, which functions both directly and as modulator of other neurotransmitters. It is found in the central and peripheral nervous system, as well as in the autonomic system-both sympathetic and parasympathetic. In the central nervous system (CNS), ACh functions not only as a neurotransmitter, but also as a modulator of cognitive functions, including long-term and short-term memory, limbic activation, and alertness. No process in the mammalian body can commence without its participation.

胆碱能突触。

乙酰胆碱（Acetylcholine, ACh）是神经系统中主要的调节性神经递质，既直接起作用，又作为其他神经递质的调节剂起作用。它存在于中枢和周围神经系统，以及自主神经系统——交感神经和副交感神经。在中枢神经系统（CNS）中，乙酰胆碱不仅作为一种神经递质，而且作为认知功能的调节剂，包括长期和短期记忆、边缘激活和警觉性。没有它的参与，哺乳动物身体的任何过程都无法开始。

期刊介绍： The Handbook of Clinical Neurology (HCN) was originally conceived and edited by Pierre Vinken and George Bruyn as a prestigious, multivolume reference work that would cover all the disorders encountered by clinicians and researchers engaged in neurology and allied fields. The first series of the Handbook (Volumes 1-44) was published between 1968 and 1982 and was followed by a second series (Volumes 45-78), guided by the same editors, which concluded in 2002. By that time, the Handbook had come to represent one of the largest scientific works ever published. In 2002, Professors Michael J. Aminoff, François Boller, and Dick F. Swaab took on the responsibility of supervising the third (current) series, the first volumes of which published in 2003. They have designed this series to encompass both clinical neurology and also the basic and clinical neurosciences that are its underpinning. Given the enormity and complexity of the accumulating literature, it is almost impossible to keep abreast of developments in the field, thus providing the raison d''être for the series. The series will thus appeal to clinicians and investigators alike, providing to each an added dimension. Now, more than 140 volumes after it began, the Handbook of Clinical Neurology series has an unparalleled reputation for providing the latest information on fundamental research on the operation of the nervous system in health and disease, comprehensive clinical information on neurological and related disorders, and up-to-date treatment protocols.
