TemperamentNeurotransmitter system
Novelty seekingLow dopaminergic activity
Harm avoidanceHigh serotonergic activity
Reward dependenceLow noradrenergic activity

Cloninger suggested that the three dimensions, novelty seeking, harm avoidance, and reward dependence, were correlated with low basal dopaminergic activity, high serotonergic activity, and low basal noradrenergic activity, respectively.{{Cite journal Much research has gone into examining these links, e.g., with personality genetics.
