My doctor prefers to think of the amine "neurotransmitters" as actually being "neuromodulators". I don't understand it all, but perhaps the function of dopamine is to modulate the excitability of glutamate neurons. Likewise, serotonin might be a modulator of GABA neurons.
Of course, the brain is way too complicated for any one theory to explain it.
At least for now.
