Kandel and Schwartz have found that when learning occurs, more of the neurotransmitter ____ is released into synapses
A
Serotonin
B
Ach
C
Dopamine
D
Noradrenaline
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glutamate. This is the most common excitatory neurotransmitter of your nervous system. It’s the most abundant neurotransmitter in your brain. It plays a key role in cognitive functions like thinking, learning and memory.

Detailed explanation-2: -Acetylcholine (ACh) is one of the most important neurotransmitters in the central cholinergic system; it specifically binds to muscarinic and nicotinic receptors and is degraded by acetylcholinesterase (AChE). ACh plays a crucial role in learning and memory.

Detailed explanation-3: -The neurotransmitter serotonin is linked to the control of mood, though it also helps to regulate various other functions, such as sleep and sexual desire. New research has uncovered another role played by serotonin: boosting learning speed.

Detailed explanation-4: -Several neurotransmitters including acetylcholine (ACh), glutamate, -amino-butyric acid (GABA), and catecholamines have been investigated in a variety of memory models, with considerable evidence of extracellular level variations that correlated with changes in neuronal activity during memory formation.
