This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Acetylcholine acts at the junction between motor neurons and muscle and is involved in memory formation.

Show

Acetylcholine released at a muscle fiber produces the contraction that lifts a finger.

Watch for

A transmitter is not one function. Acetylcholine's roles at the muscle and in the hippocampus are separate stories.
