Can agonists or antagonists that mimic neurotransmitters be mistakenly stored in terminal buttons during reuptake?
Some neurotransmitter molecules have a molecular structure that precisely fits the receptor site on the receiving neuron, much as a key fits a lock. When the agonist molecule excites, it is similar enough in structure to the neurotransmitter molecule that it mimics its effects on the receiving neuron. Morphine, for instance, mimics the action of endorphins by stimulating receptors in brain areas involved in mood and pain sensations. This antagonist molecule inhibits. It has a structure similar enough to the neurotransmitter to occupy its receptor site and block its action, but not similar enough to stimulate the receptor.
What else can I help you with?
Do antagonists increase the reuptake of neurotransmitters as they cross the synaptic gap that separates neurons?
Antagonists do not typically increase the reuptake of neurotransmitters. Instead, antagonists are substances that block or inhibit the action of neurotransmitters at their receptors, preventing the intended signaling effects. Reuptake refers to the process by which neurotransmitters are reabsorbed by the presynaptic neuron after crossing the synaptic gap, and this process is primarily influenced by transport proteins rather than antagonists.
Does sythesis and reuptake of neurotransmitter reguire energy?
Yes, the synthesis and reuptake of neurotransmitters require energy in the form of ATP. Synthesizing neurotransmitters involves several enzymatic reactions that consume energy, while reuptake processes, such as active transport across the cell membrane, also require energy to function.
What is the process by which neurotransmitters reenter terminal buttons and are repackaged for future use?
Reuptake - process by which neurotransmitters are taken back into the synaptic vesicles.
What happens to neurotransmitters that fail to attach to a receptor site?
In a process called reuptake, they are reabsorbed by sending the neuron and recycled.
What is the absorption of a neurotransmitter after it has transmitted a neural impulse called?
The absorption of a neurotransmitter after it has transmitted a neural impulse is called "reuptake." During reuptake, neurotransmitters are taken back into the presynaptic neuron, where they can be recycled and repackaged for future use. This process helps terminate the signal between neurons and regulates the levels of neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft.

What is an anxiety relieving inhibitory neurotransmitter?
γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) and Serotonin (5-HT) are anxiety releiving neurotransmitters. Benzodiazepines and serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the primary treatments for anxiety disorders. Benzodiazepines are GABA agonists and SSRIs are 5-HT agonists - i.e. they promote the effects of these inhibitory neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly the limbic system.
What is it called when neurotransmitters are recycled?
The process of recycling neurotransmitters is known as reuptake. This is when neurotransmitters are taken back up into the presynaptic neuron after they have been released into the synaptic cleft.
Reuptake means that?
Unused neurotransmitters are absorbed :)
What is a Unused neurotransmitters are absorbed in a process?
Unused neurotransmitters are absorbed through a process called reuptake, where they are taken back up into the presynaptic neuron that released them. This allows for the efficient recycling of neurotransmitters and helps to regulate the levels of neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft.
Unused neurotransmitters are absorbed in a process called?
reuptake.
Neurotransmitters communicate an inhibitory message to the postsynaptic neuron?
reuptake is inhibited
Does sythesis and reuptake of neurotransmitter reguire energy?
Yes, the synthesis and reuptake of neurotransmitters require energy in the form of ATP. Synthesizing neurotransmitters involves several enzymatic reactions that consume energy, while reuptake processes, such as active transport across the cell membrane, also require energy to function.
Is the drug ssri an antagonist or agonist?
The SSRI class is neither antagonist nor agonist. They are re-uptake inhibitors. To the extent of my knowledge (I am NOT a doctor), a serotonin: agonist enhances production of sertonin at the source neuron, antagonists blocks binding of serotonin to the target neuron effectively blinding it, re-uptake inhibitors block the destruction of serotonin, effectively letting it act for longer.
What is the process by which neurotransmitters reenter terminal buttons and are repackaged for future use in the terminal buttons?
Reuptake
when a dendrite pulls the neurotransmitter in the opposite directions its is called?
Reuptake. Reuptake is the process by which neurotransmitters are taken back up into the presynaptic neuron after being released into the synaptic cleft.
What is the process by which neurotransmitters reenter terminal buttons and are repackaged for future use?
Reuptake - process by which neurotransmitters are taken back into the synaptic vesicles.
