I've searched around, but the only actual definition I've found is from www.medfriendly.com, which says: "Aminergic means relating to nerve cells or fibers." But this is not helpful because the articles I'm reading assume a distinction between aminergic neurons and other kinds of neurons. I need to know what is distinctive about aminergic neurons. What do they do? What special roles do they play?

Aminergic neurons are activated by, characteristic of, or secreting one of the biogenic amines. These include histamine (arousal and attention), tyramine (BP and headaches), serotonin (mood and sleep) and the catecholamines (epinephrine, sympathetic nervous system).
