I understand that norepenephrine gives a sort of pleasurable reward for the continued performance of a certain action.... (possibly on the nucleus accumbens) ... whereas dopamine gives a sort of pleasurable reward for beginning the behaviour....

elsewhere i read lack of norepenephrine is responsible for:

depressed mood
decreased attention
decreased concentration
decreased working memory
decreased information processing
psychomotor retardation
fatigue
idiopathic hypersomnia


ummmm... but keep in mind that it's never really that simple. For example, norepenephrine receptors might cause the firing of a nerve that releases serotonin or dopamine. In a way, many different systems are connected, so it's hard to isolate primary and secondary effects
