C) synthesis, binding, release, reuptake
D) release, synthesis, binding, reuptake
Synaptic Transmission
The process by which neurons communicate with each other by releasing neurotransmitters across a synapse to transmit signals to target cells.
Neurotransmitters
Chemicals in the brain that transmit signals across a synapse from one neuron to another.
Reuptake
A process in which neurotransmitters are absorbed back into the neuron after being released, affecting the communication between neurons.
