Preventing neurotransmitter reuptake will reduce neurotransmitter synthesis.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Preventing neurotransmitter reuptake will not affect neurotransmitter synthesis directly. Reuptake inhibitors only inhibit the recycling of neurotransmitters and do not affect their production in the neuron. However, long-term use of reuptake inhibitors may result in downregulation of neurotransmitter synthesis due to a compensatory response of the neurons to the increased level of neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft.
