Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Neurotransmitters are chemicals released from the sending neuron that travel across the synapse and bind to receptor sites on the receiving neuron, thereby influencing it to generate an action potential. Excess neurotransmitters in the synapse are reabsorbed into the sending neurons through the process of reuptake.
Detailed explanation-2: -These transporter proteins carry the neurotransmitter back into the pre-synaptic cell, where it is either re-packaged into a vesicle and stored until it is once again needed to transmit a chemical message, or broken down by enzymes. Serotonin is one neurotransmitter that gets recycled in this way.
