Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inactivation and reuptake are processes primarily involved in clearing neurotransmitters from the synaptic cleft after they have been released and have carried their signal from one neuron to another. This helps to terminate the signal and prepare the synapse for the next round of neurotransmission.
