A new medication is developed to treat a mood disorder. Its mechanism involves preventing the presynaptic neuron from reabsorbing a specific neurotransmitter after it has been released into the synapse. This results in a higher concentration of that neurotransmitter remaining in the synaptic cleft for a longer time.
