Abstract
Of the possible functions of chemical substances participating in the transmission of nervous impulses, it is the central mediator role of acetylcholine for which there is the most evidence. Although the actual nature of synaptic transmission in the brain is still uncertain, it is considered that the mechanisms by which acetylcholine participates in it are similar to the corresponding mechanisms of synaptic transmission in autonomic ganglia.
