The correct term for the process where additional neurotransmitters are taken back into the presynaptic membrane after they have been expelled into the synaptic gap is called "reuptake." This process helps to clear neurotransmitters from the synaptic gap and regulate their levels, ensuring that signals are not continuously sent across the synapse.
