Neurotransmitters scattered in the synapse are either reabsorbed by presynaptic neurons through reuptake transporters, degraded by enzymes like acetylcholinesterase or monoamine oxidase (MAO), or removed by astrocytes to prevent overstimulation and maintain proper neural function so it all sort of depends.
What happens with those NT scattered around the synapses area? Are they taken care of by enzymes?
