A member asked:

Please help! what is the name of the disease when the acetylcholinesterase does not function?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Here are some: Perhaps you are thinking of Myasthenia Gravis, where the acetylcholine fails due to immune damage of the neuromuscular junction, but botulism and black widow spider bites also affect acetylcholine transmission, and this chemical drops in Alzheimer's and Parkinsonian dementias.
