Removes the neurotransmitter from the synapse, and stops stimulation of receptors.

Explanation:

Re-uptake is one of several methods to remove the neurotransmitters from the synapse. During reuptake, the neurotransmitters are actively transported to the presynaptic neurons that released them in the synaptic cleft. Once the neurotransmitters are removed from the synaptic cleft, they can no longer bind to the receptors. The result is the termination of the effect of a neurotransmitter on the postsynaptic neurons.
