Reuptake Pumps Presynaptic Neurons Mdma Function Binds Blocks

MDMA blocks neurotransmitter reuptake, increasing dopamine and serotonin levels and triggering their release, causing euphoria and heightened sensations.

MDMA blocks neurotransmitter reuptake, increasing dopamine and serotonin levels and triggering their release, causing euphoria and heightened sensations.

Front MDMA function
Back binds to reuptake pumps on presynaptic neurons and blocks the recycling of dopamine and serotonin; enters the presynaptic neurons via the reuptake pumps and triggers the secretion of neurotransmitter; prompting feelings of euphoria and heightened sensation
