Abstract
The existence of presynaptic receptors at the releasing terminal level that mediate the modulation of transmitter release in the central nervous system is now well accepted. The nerve terminals of the central nervous system are also endowed with membrane transporters. It has been suggested that the main function of reuptake processes should be to remove the transmitter released previously into the synaptic cleft and to terminate its action at the postsynaptic receptors.
