Monoaminergic Neuromodulation of Sensory Processing.

Abstract in brief

• The article explores how monoamine neuromodulators like serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline influence sensory processing in the mammalian brain, focusing on their roles in modulating neuronal responses and maintaining sensory signal fidelity.
• It summarizes recent neurophysiological findings showing that these neuromodulators can alter sensory processing by affecting neuronal gain and response precision, with different systems showing distinct patterns of influence across brain areas and layers.
• The research emphasizes that understanding how neuromodulators work at various target sites is vital for comprehending normal brain function and the development of mental health disorders.]
