The receptors are located primarily in the limbic system of the brain. The limbic system is a region in the brain containing structures such as the hippocampus and amygdala. The region plays a role in a variety of functions such as emotion and behavior, long-term memory and smell.

Does trazodone increase dopamine?

If trazodone does impact dopamine, it does so very slightly, and such effect is negligible. So, I would say no. Trazodone is an agonist for the 5-HT (serotonin)-1A receptor (similar to buspirone, where it acts to reduce anxiety). It also antagonizes (blocks) the following receptor subtypes: - 5-HT 2A, 2B, and 2C - alpha-1 and alpha-2 adrenergic receptors - histamine-1 receptor
