Aminergic neurons have particular functions in many systems, and in this review their role is discussed and compared in three systems: those parts of the central nervous system controlling sleep and waking in the cut; the superior cervical ganglion: and the isolated nervous system of Aplysia. In the cat the aminergic neurons are most important in a waking state during which time external information is received, processed, and can be retrieved, and during which time habituation and sensitization occur. Aminergic neurons appear to have similar roles in state control in plasticity in both the Aplysia nervous system and the superior cervical ganglion. The striking similarities in the role of aminergic neurons in these three systems support the speculation that aminergic neurons have uniquely important roles in regulation of the plastic properties of neurons.
胺能神经元在许多系统中具有特定功能，在本综述中，将在三个系统中讨论并比较它们的作用：中枢神经系统中控制睡眠和觉醒的部分；颈上神经节；以及海兔的离体神经系统。在猫中，胺能神经元在清醒状态下最为重要，在此期间接收、处理并可检索外部信息，同时也会发生习惯化和敏感化。胺能神经元在海兔神经系统和颈上神经节的状态控制和可塑性方面似乎具有相似作用。胺能神经元在这三个系统中的作用存在显著相似性，这支持了一种推测，即胺能神经元在调节神经元的可塑性特性方面具有独特的重要作用。
