a. (context physiology English) Activated by a biochemical amine
Usage examples of "aminergic".
The cholinergic system is apparently held in restraint by the aminergic system.
Thus, when the aminergic system is functioning at a high level, the cholinergic system is functioning at a reciprocally relatively low level.
As we go to sleep, the aminergic system decreases in its activity, and the cholinergic system becomes relatively more active.
The dreaming brain is very highly cholinergic, the waking brain is very highly aminergic, while in each of these states the forebrain is highly electrically activated.
Secondly, the eye motor nuclei which control eye movements lie upstream in the brain stem, forward of aminergic and cholinergic state control systems in the pontine brain stem.
This is so not only because this population of aminergic neurons controls arousal, wakefulness, alertness, and anxiety, but also because outputs of this system affect vital functions like breathing, blood pressure, and other visceral as well as cerebral contributions to our experiences.
