The process is called re-uptake , in the synaptic cleft certain medicines interfere with the process where excess neurotransmitters are left in the synaptic cleft , they are reabsorbed and they are broken down by enzymes. If this process is interfered with, the neurotransmitters are left to reexcite the receptors on the dendrites of the neurons. (for example) look at prozac, a person has a defeciency of dopeamine the drug interferes with re-uptake thereby making dopeamine more efficient, (Allen Delaine)
