<p><strong>Edition</strong></p>

<p>I'm interested in this area because, there is far less monoamines neurotransmitters  based neurones than based on amino acid neurotransmitters.

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is better suited for Biology.SE

Just curious, the [wikipedia entry on the evolution of monoamine neurotransmitters](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoamine_neurotransmitter#Evolution) links to this article; is it useful? Lövheim, Hugo (2012). "A new three-dimensional model for emotions and monoamine neurotransmitters". Medical Hypotheses 78 (2): 341–8. doi:10.1016/j.mehy.2011.11.016. PMID 22153577.

An interesting question.  Some type of receptor-mediated membrane potential regulation probably can be found in single-cell eukaryotes, but I don't have a reference for that.

This might be more appropriate for biology.SE.
