Question

Many antidepressants, such as Prozac, act by inhibiting serotonin reuptake. What does this mean? a) Postsynaptic receptors become more sensitive to any released neurochemical molecules. b) More neurochemical is synthesized by the releasing (presynaptic) cell. c)The recapture of released neurochemical molecules by the releasing (presynaptic) cell slows down, giving the molecules more opportunities to interact with receptors. d) The enzymes usually responsible for deactivating released neurochemicals are inhibited.

Answer 1

c)The recapture of released neurochemical molecules by the releasing (presynaptic) cell slows down, giving the molecules more opportunities to interact with receptors.

Step-by-step explanation:

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRIs), such as Prozac, reduce the

reuptake of neurotransmitter serotonin into the presynaptic cell, resulting in the increase of the neurotransmitter.
