There are two types of removal: Re-uptake – the neurotransmitter is reabsorbed back into the presynaptic neuron and restored inside a vesicle ready to be used again. For example, noradrenaline.

other steps of copulation are still mysteries. A team of researchers in China and Japan have investigated which brain regions and neurotransmitters are responsible for different phases during sex.

Many of these steps are not well known ... "It's well known that serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain, can suppress food intake. This finding led to the development of drugs that interact ...

A fluorescent probe designed to incorporate a fluorophore into the structure of a neurotransmitter finds activity-dependent heterogeneity in dopamine release at individual synapses ...

Revealing the fundamental principles of how neural circuits are organized and operate is a key challenge in neuroscience. In the past 60 years, intensive effort has been invested in characterizing ...
