Abstract
The morphological organization of monoamine systems in brain and psychopharmacological studies have long suggested a functional linkage between noradrenergic and serotonergic neuronal systems. Recent studies of the molecular mechanism of action of antidepressants have added additional support for an aminergic interaction in the central nervous system (CNS). In the present manuscript, we will review this evidence and evaluate the possible molecular basis for the adrenergic/serotonergic link.
