Abstract
Monoamines are widely distributed in the brain and are involved in arousal and motivational processes as well as motor activity and neuroendocrine control. Interactions between these central monoaminergic systems and steroid hormones play a major role in the integration of reproductive behaviour and gonadal function. This review describes the development of understanding of the relationship between steroids and monoamines, particularly in the control of sexual behaviour.
