Interactions between dopamine, serotonin, and other reward factor

Interactions between dopamine, serotonin, reward factors, and main representatives of regulatory peptide families have been analyzed using the bulk of disembodied publications of the last 50 years. A database covering the direction of physiological effects, doses, and administration modes of regulatory peptides and biologically active compounds, species, organ and tissue systems, as well as receptor mechanisms has been created. Complex cascade interactions between dopamine, serotonin, reward factors, and regulatory peptides were analyzed and organized. Analysis of coordinated functioning of the dopaminergic and serotonergic systems (at different levels) allowed us to reveal their opponent reciprocal interactions and to introduce their integral characteristics.
