Inhibiting neurotransmitter-degrading enzymes increases their concentration and binding time at receptors.
Inhibiting enzymes that break down neurotransmitters increases their concentration and duration in the synaptic cleft, prolonging receptor binding.
| Front | Inhibition of enzymes that break down the neurotransmitters |
|---|---|
| Back | more neurotransmitters in synaptic cleft to bind to receptors and they're there for longer |
