enzymes‚ pulled back into the presynaptic neuron through reuptake‚ or bound to a postsynaptic receptor. Nevertheless‚ short-term exposure of the receptor to a neurotransmitter is typically sufficient for causing a postsynaptic response by way of synaptic transmission. In response to a threshold action potential or graded electrical potential‚ a neurotransmitter is released at the presynaptic terminal. Low level "baseline" release also occurs without electrical stimulation. The released neurotransmitter
