Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Reuptake is the reabsorption of a neurotransmitter by a neurotransmitter transporter located along the plasma membrane of an axon terminal (i.e., the pre-synaptic neuron at a synapse) or glial cell after it has performed its function of transmitting a neural impulse.
Detailed explanation-2: -n. the process by which neurotransmitter molecules that have been released at a synapse are reabsorbed by the presynaptic neuron that released them. Reuptake is performed by transporter proteins in the presynaptic membrane.
Detailed explanation-3: -The synaptic actions of most neurotransmitters are inactivated by reuptake into the nerve terminals from which they are released, or by uptake into adjacent cells.
