[1966Proc. Royal Soc. (B.) 165317 Each circle is arranged around a central dark area about the size of an average neuron or epidermal cell, suggesting a relationship between the green fluorescent system and a non-aminergic nerve or epidermal cell.] 1967Psychopharmacologica 11 179 The anatomic sites of these aminergic effects was [sic] studied by microinjection of drugs into the corpus striatum of rats. 1973Nature 12 Oct. 288/1 There seems to be a wide range of aminergic neurones connecting the hypothalamus with ‘higher centres’. 1991J. R. Cooper et al. Biochem. Basis Neuropharmacol. (ed. 6) i. 4 The use of drugs that affect the aminergic nervous system has uncovered basic and hitherto unknown neural properties such as the uptake, storage, and release of the biogenic amines. 2003Science 28 Mar. 1988/1 The neurochemical modulatory environment in REM is cholinergic (due to waking levels of acetylcholine) rather than aminergic (serotonin and noradrenaline are absent in REM sleep). |
