Possibly.
Are there ongoing studies on the subject?I know a few papers, but most of them only focus on the Dopamine-theory.
> There are other receptors that are involved too. Activation of 5-ht7, 5-ht6, 5-ht1d, for example, may reduce the dimensions of emotion. Excessive 5-ht1d activation as well, can reduce growth hormone release. It's not just suppression of dopamine. Reduced acetylcholine function can reduce the ability to experience pleasure.
