Atomoxetine increased extracellular levels of NE in the prefrontal cortex 3-fold. Atomoxetine also increased DA concentrations in the PFC 3-fold but did not alter DA in nucleus accumbens or striatum.

Optimal doses of ATM improved PFC cognitive function in monkeys. These enhancing effects appeared to involve indirect stimulation of α(2) adrenoceptors and D(1) dopamine receptors in the PFC.

Desipramine still has an effect on serotonin, whereas Atomoxetine has no effect on serotonin. Also, what I can find in the literature suggests Atomoxetine is a stronger re-uptake inhibitor of Norepenephrine.
