Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process by which a neurotransmitter is broken down into its component molecules is called "deactivation". Reuptake refers to the process by which neurotransmitters are taken back into the presynaptic cell from which they were released, while autoreception refers to the way in which a neuron regulates its own neurotransmitter release. Reconstitution is not a term typically used in neuroscience.
