    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_reabsorption

    Selective reabsorption is the process whereby certain molecules (e.g. ions, glucose and amino acids), after being filtered out of the capillaries along with nitrogenous waste products (i.e. urea) and water in the glomerulus, are reabsorbed from the filtrate as they pass through the nephron.

  3. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_serotonin...

    Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are a class of drugs that are typically used as antidepressants in the treatment of major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, and other psychological conditions. SSRIs increase the extracellular level of the neurotransmitter serotonin by limiting its reabsorption (reuptake) into the ...

  4. Absorption (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_(psychology)

    Absorption is strongly correlated with openness to experience. [6] Studies using factor analysis have suggested that the fantasy, aesthetics, and feelings facets of the NEO PI-R Openness to Experience scale are closely related to absorption and predict hypnotisability, whereas the remaining three facet scales of ideas, actions, and values are largely unrelated to these constructs.

  5. Reuptake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reuptake

    A synapse during re-uptake. Note that some neurotransmitters are lost and not reabsorbed. 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.

  6. Antidepressant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antidepressant

    Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are believed to increase the extracellular level of the neurotransmitter serotonin by limiting its reabsorption into the presynaptic cell, increasing the level of serotonin in the synaptic cleft available to bind to the postsynaptic receptor.

    Escitalopram, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used as an antidepressant.. Reuptake inhibitors (RIs) are a type of reuptake modulators.It is a drug that inhibits the plasmalemmal transporter-mediated reuptake of a neurotransmitter from the synapse into the pre-synaptic neuron.
