Are there any general theories regarding brain chemistry?



Answer:
There are many theories about brain chemistry. I would start by learning about the different types of neurotransmitters (GABA, Serotonin, Norepinephrine, dopamine, etc). By learning their functions on a molecular level, it forms a foundation for learning the physiology.
You might enjoy reading Eric Kandell's biography, In Search of Memory. Kandell won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his work on memory. His bio is also a simple review course in neuro anatomy, neuro chemistry and neuro physiology.
Sure. There are many books written on the subject. If you are not a college chemistry graduate, do not look for them. You will not be able to read even one page !
