Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presynaptic terminal reabsorbs released dopamine through a protein called a dopamine transporter. This is also known as a dopamine reuptake transporter. Option A (dopamine reabsorber) and option B (dopamine releaser) are not accurate terms. Option D (dopamine agonist) is a type of drug that can bind to dopamine receptors and activate them, but it is not involved in dopamine reuptake.
