The monoamines neurotransmitters, including serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine are believed to influence mood, arousal, and cognition. Furthermore, dysfunction in monoamine signaling has been implicated in depression and anxiety disorders, and sex differences in monoaminergic signaling may underlie sex differences in mood disorders. For the serotonin and dopamine monoamine systems, describe 1) the proposed functions of each monoamine 2) the known sex differences related to that monoamine 3) how those differences in monoamine signaling may contribute to sex differences in depression and anxiety.
