| Neurotransmitter | Primary Behavioral Role | Veterinary Clinical Context | |----------------|------------------------|-----------------------------| | Serotonin (5-HT) | Impulse control, mood stability | Low levels → aggression, compulsive disorders. Mediated by SSRIs (fluoxetine). | | Dopamine | Reward, motivation, movement | Dysregulation → canine compulsive disorder (tail chasing, flank sucking). | | GABA | Inhibition, anxiety reduction | Benzodiazepines (alprazolam) enhance GABA → acute anxiety relief. | | Norepinephrine | Arousal, vigilance | Hyperarousal in PTSD-like states (canine). | Mediated by SSRIs (fluoxetine)
