  2. 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.

  3. Selective reabsorption - Wikipedia

    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.

  4. Norepinephrine transporter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norepinephrine_transporter

    [6] [15] [17] The transporters can be found along the cell body, axons, and dendrites of the neuron. [6] NETs are located away from the synapse, where norepinephrine is released. They are found closer to the plasma membrane of the cell. This requires norepinephrine to diffuse from the site it is released to the transporter for reuptake. [17]

  5. Serotonin–norepinephrine–dopamine reuptake inhibitor

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serotonin–norepinephrine...

    It does this by concomitantly inhibiting the serotonin transporter (SERT), norepinephrine transporter (NET), and dopamine transporter (DAT), respectively. Inhibition of the reuptake of these neurotransmitters increases their extracellular concentrations and, therefore, results in an increase in serotonergic , adrenergic , and dopaminergic ...

  6. Reuptake inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reuptake_inhibitor

    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.

  7. Neurotransmitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurotransmitter

    If the cell body is normally in an inhibited state, the only way to generate an action potential at the axon hillock is to reduce the cell body's inhibition. In this "open the gates" strategy, the excitatory message is like a racehorse ready to run down the track, but first, the inhibitory starting gate must be removed.

  9. Glutamate receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutamate_receptor

    Glutamate (the conjugate base of glutamic acid) is abundant in the human body, but particularly in the nervous system and especially prominent in the human brain where it is the body's most prominent neurotransmitter, the brain's main excitatory neurotransmitter, and also the precursor for GABA, the brain's main inhibitory neurotransmitter.
