The idea
Acetylcholine acts at the junction between motor neurons and muscle and is involved in memory formation.
In practice
Acetylcholine released at a muscle fiber produces the contraction that lifts a finger.
Where people slip
A transmitter is not one function. Acetylcholine's roles at the muscle and in the hippocampus are separate stories.
