Difference between Memory and Neurotransmitter

Memory vs. Neurotransmitter

Memory is the faculty of the mind by which information is encoded, stored, and retrieved. Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that enable neurotransmission.

Similarities between Memory and Neurotransmitter

Memory and Neurotransmitter have 17 things in common (in Unionpedia): Action potential, Adrenaline, Alzheimer's disease, Amygdala, Cerebellum, Glutamic acid, Hippocampus, National Institutes of Health, Neuron, Neurotransmission, NMDA receptor, Parkinson's disease, Prefrontal cortex, Schizophrenia, Striatum, Synapse, Working memory.

Action potential

In physiology, an action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls: this depolarisation then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarise.

Adrenaline

Adrenaline, also known as adrenalin or epinephrine, is a hormone, neurotransmitter, and medication.

Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's disease (AD), also referred to simply as Alzheimer's, is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and worsens over time.

Amygdala

The amygdala (plural: amygdalae; also corpus amygdaloideum; Latin from Greek, ἀμυγδαλή, amygdalē, 'Almond', 'tonsil') is one of two almond-shaped groups of nuclei located deep and medially within the temporal lobes of the brain in complex vertebrates, including humans.

Cerebellum

The cerebellum (Latin for "little brain") is a major feature of the hindbrain of all vertebrates.

Glutamic acid

Glutamic acid (symbol Glu or E) is an α-amino acid with formula.

Hippocampus

The hippocampus (named after its resemblance to the seahorse, from the Greek ἱππόκαμπος, "seahorse" from ἵππος hippos, "horse" and κάμπος kampos, "sea monster") is a major component of the brains of humans and other vertebrates.

National Institutes of Health

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the primary agency of the United States government responsible for biomedical and public health research, founded in the late 1870s.

Neuron

A neuron, also known as a neurone (British spelling) and nerve cell, is an electrically excitable cell that receives, processes, and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals.

Neurotransmission

Neurotransmission (Latin: transmissio "passage, crossing" from transmittere "send, let through"), also called synaptic transmission, is the process by which signaling molecules called neurotransmitters are released by the axon terminal of a neuron (the presynaptic neuron), and bind to and activate the receptors on the dendrites of another neuron (the postsynaptic neuron).

NMDA receptor

The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (also known as the NMDA receptor or NMDAR), is a glutamate receptor and ion channel protein found in nerve cells.

Parkinson's disease

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a long-term degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that mainly affects the motor system.

Prefrontal cortex

In mammalian brain anatomy, the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is the cerebral cortex which covers the front part of the frontal lobe.

Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by abnormal social behavior and failure to understand reality.

Striatum

The striatum, or corpus striatum (also called the neostriatum and the striate nucleus) is a nucleus (a cluster of neurons) in the subcortical basal ganglia of the forebrain.

Synapse

In the nervous system, a synapse is a structure that permits a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron or to the target efferent cell.

Working memory

Working memory is a cognitive system with a limited capacity that is responsible for temporarily holding information available for processing.

Memory and Neurotransmitter Comparison

Memory has 144 relations, while Neurotransmitter has 375. As they have in common 17, the Jaccard index is 3.28% = 17 / (144 + 375).
