Illustration 3. Schematic of the inhibition of the dopamine and serotonin transporters by PEA, amphetamine, and methylphenidate.

Panel A shows the normal action of release and re-uptake of the biogenic amines dopamine and serotonin. Panel B shows the modulation of the monoamine re-uptake transporters by PEA and amphetamine through TAAR, as well as the blockage of the dopamine transporter by methylphenidate.
