Reuptake occurs:
A)when the brain shifts functions from damaged areas to undamaged areas.
B)when sodium ion and potassium ion channels open.
C)in the small gaps in the axon called the nodes of Ranvier.
D)when neurotransmitter molecules are reabsorbed by the presynaptic neuron.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reuptake is the process by which neurotransmitter molecules are reabsorbed by the presynaptic neuron after they have been released into the synapse to transmit a signal to another neuron. This allows for the regulation of neurotransmitter levels in the brain and helps to prevent overstimulation of the receiving neuron. A, B, and C are not related to reuptake.
