Patients with anorexia have elevated opioid neurotransmitter activity in the brain. Same researchers have previously shown that in obese patients the activity of this system is lowered. It is likely that these neurotransmitters regulate both the loss and increase in appetite.

Patients with anorexia have elevated opioid neurotransmitter activity in the brain
A study conducted at Turku PET Centre in Finland showed that changes in the functioning of opioid neurotransmitters in the brain may underlie anorexia.
Depressed individuals in a eight‐week treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) reduced the activity of 5-HT4 receptors | This finding is consistent with the expectation that the treatment increases the concentration of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain.

How SSRIs affect serotonin receptors: New findings from a depression study
SSRIs reduced 5-HT4 receptor activity in the brain's neostriatum, supporting increased serotonin. Interestingly, smaller reductions in receptor activity were linked to better verbal memory improvements, although initial activity didn't predict treatment response.
Study identify 2 key neurotransmitters at different phases of sex. In male mouse brains, acetylcholine is released up to insertion of penis into vagina. Dopamine and acetylcholine then oscillated in brain with mouse’s thrusting motions. On ejaculation, dopamine release slowed before rising quickly.
