The amine theory of affective disorder and the dopamine and endorphin theories of schizophrenia are controversial but heuristically valuable concepts that have emerged from the psychobiological revolution of the last decade. That revolution stemmed largely from the development of techniques for localizing and assaying neuroregulators and their receptors in the brain under normal, pathological and experimental conditions. The data thus obtained are reviewed here, and the current status of the emergent psychobiological hypotheses assessed.
情感障碍的胺理论以及精神分裂症的多巴胺和内啡肽理论颇具争议，但却是过去十年心理生物学革命中出现的具有启发价值的概念。这场革命很大程度上源于在正常、病理和实验条件下对大脑中神经调节物质及其受体进行定位和测定的技术发展。本文对由此获得的数据进行了综述，并评估了新兴心理生物学假说的现状。
