Definitions:

Synaptic Reuptake

A process by which neurotransmitters are absorbed back into the neuron after being released into the synaptic gap, influencing the modulation of neural signals.

Inhibitory Postsynaptic Potential

A type of synaptic potential that makes a post-synaptic neuron less likely to generate an action potential.

Excitatory Postsynaptic Potential

A temporary increase in postsynaptic membrane potential caused by the flow of positively charged ions into the postsynaptic cell.

Presynaptic Neuron

The neuron that sends a signal across a synapse to a target neuron during neurotransmission.
