"#Monoamines like #serotonin, #dopamine, and #adrenaline/noradrenaline (#epinephrine/norepinephrine) act as #neuromodulators in the nervous system.. However, the evolutionary origin of the genes required for monoaminergic modulation is uncertain. Using a phylogenomic approach, in this study, we show that most of the genes involved in monoamine production, modulation, and reception originated in the #bilaterian stem group."
Monoamines act as neuromodulators in the nervous system, but their evolutionary origins are unclear. Here, the authors examine the evolution of genes involved in monoamine production, and processing suggesting that the monoaminergic system evolved in the bilaterian stem-group.
Genes for learning and memory are 650 million years old

Scientists have discovered that the genes required for learning, memory, aggression and other complex behaviors originated around 650 million years ago.
The monoaminergic system is a bilaterian innovation
