Dopamine Norepinephrine Serotonin<unk> s are neurotransmitters and neuromodulators that contain one amino group connected to an aromatic ring by a two-carbon chain (such as -CH2-CH2-). Examples are dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin. All<unk> s are derived from aromatic amino acids like phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan by the action of aromatic amino acid decarboxylase enzymes. They are deactivated in the body by the enzymes known as<unk>  oxidases which clip off the amine group.<unk> rgic systems, i.e., the networks of neurons that use<unk> s, are involved in the regulation of processes such as emotion, arousal, and certain types of memory. It has also been found that<unk> s play an important role in the secretion and production of neurotrophin-3 by astrocytes, a chemical which maintains neuron integrity and provides neurons with trophic support. Drugs used to increase or reduce the effect of<unk> s are used to treat patients with psychiatric and neurological disorders, including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease.
