Drugs that affect the reuptake of neurotransmitters are in widespread use for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and clinical depression. In molecular terms, explain what effect(s) such reuptake inhibitors have on postsynaptic neurons if the neurotransmitter in question is excitatory for that postsynaptic neuron. In your answer include what would happen to the postsynaptic neuron with and without the reuptake inhibitors. Also, include the concept of summation (and be specific as to what type of summation would happen in the presence of the reuptake inhibitors).
