Monoaminergic Synapses in the Brain : Regulation and Ontogenetic Development

Abstract

The present article describes functional development of monoaminergic synapses in the brain. Our recent findings on developmental changes of regional content, uptake, release of noradrenaline, dopamine, serotonin, specific binding of monoamines-related drugs and behavioral effects of these drugs were shown with aspect to the regulation mechanism in synaptic transmission.
