Definition:
Reuptake is the process by which the nerve cell that released neurotransmitters into the gap between itself and the next nerve reabsorbs the neurotransmitters into itself. Medications which interfere with this process are called reuptake inhibitors. Reducing reuptake makes more of the neurotransmitter available to bind with receptors on the receiving cells.
