An electrical impulse cannot directly cross the gap so ... Re-uptake – the neurotransmitter is reabsorbed back into the presynaptic neuron and restored inside a vesicle ready to be used again.

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal ...
