The monoamines serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline have a great impact on mood, emotion and behavior. This article presents a new three-dimensional model for monoamine neurotransmitters and emotions. In the model, the monoamine systems are represented as orthogonal axes and the eight basic emotions, labeled according to Tomkins, are placed at each of the eight possible extreme values, represented as corners of a cube. The model may help in understanding human emotions, psychiatric illness and the effects of psychotropic drugs. However, further empirical studies are needed to establish its validity.
单胺类物质——血清素、多巴胺和去甲肾上腺素，对情绪、情感和行为有着重大影响。本文提出了一个单胺类神经递质和情绪的新三维模型。在该模型中，单胺系统表示为正交轴，根据汤姆金斯的理论，八种基本情绪被标记在每个可能的极值处，即立方体的八个角上。该模型有助于理解人类情绪、精神疾病和精神药物的作用。然而，需要进一步的实证研究来验证其有效性。
