Â· just now. Report Abuse. Emotions aren't caused by one specific chemical in the brain. There are a number of neurotransmitters, or chemicals in the brain that perform different functions and carry impulses from one part of the brain to the other.Some of these include serotonin, dopamine, acetylcholine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, GABA, etc.hese parts of the brain are the hardware, the chemicals that they use as communicators may be considered as being our software. Emotions are neuropeptides attaching to receptors and stimulating an electrical change on neurons.
Antidepressants such as MAOIs ease depression by affecting chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) used to communicate between brain cells. Like most antidepressants, MAOIs work by ultimately effecting changes in the brain chemistry that are operational in depression. An enzyme called monoamine oxidase is involved in removing the neurotransmitters norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine from the brain. MAOIs prevent this from happening, which makes more of these brain chemicals available to effect changes in both cells and circuits that have been impacted by depression.
