Monoamines: Dopamine, Norepinephrine, and Serotonin, Beyond Modulation, "Switches" That Alter the State of Target Networks

Sayed Ausim Azizi. Neuroscientist. 2022 Apr.

Abstract

How do monoamines influence the perceptual and behavioral aspects of brain function? A library of information regarding the genetic, molecular, cellular, and function of monoamines in the nervous system and other organs has accumulated. We briefly review monoamines' anatomy and physiology and discuss their effects on the target neurons and circuits. Monoaminergic cells in the brain stem receive inputs from sensory, limbic, and prefrontal areas and project extensively to the forebrain and hindbrain. We review selected studies on molecular, cellular, and electrophysiological effects of monoamines on the brain's target areas. The idea is that monoamines, by reversibly modulating the "primary" information processing circuits, regulate and switch the functions of brain networks and can reversibly alter the "brain states," such as consciousness, emotions, and movements. Monoamines, as the drivers of normal motor and sensory brain operations, including housekeeping, play essential roles in pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric diseases.

Keywords: dopamine; neural networks; neuromodulation; norepinephrine; serotonin.
