Description
Yuan Gao, Tian Zhou, Xinsheng Lai, and Erkang Fei review acetylcholine as a two-way messenger between brain and body, in this 2026 article. The chemical is one of the oldest known nerve signals, at work in the brain, the nerves, and many organs. The review follows its full cycle, from synthesis and storage to release, breakdown, and recycling.
In the brain, the signal supports learning, memory, attention, and decision-making. In the body it steers movement, automatic functions, and immune responses. Signals also flow upward: gut and immune cells report the body's state to the brain along the vagus nerve and other routes. The authors frame the chemical as a shared language whose failures may underlie several diseases.
