The process by which the presynaptic neuron reabsorbs neurotransmitter that is not absorbed by the postsynaptic neuron is called _____.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Reuptake

Explanation:

The signal transmitted through the neuron in the form of electrical impulse gets converted into the chemical signal by the release of the neurotransmitter from the presynaptic neuron.

The released neurotransmitter binds to the ion channels on the postsynaptic neuron and thus the signal is transmitted.

However the released neurotransmitter is reabsorbed by the presynaptic neuron or the axon terminal through the ion gated channels controlled by the movement of sodium ions through a process known as reuptake.

This process allows the level of the neurotransmitter in the synapse and the recycling of the neurotransmitter.

Thus, Reuptake is the correct answer.
