... 1. Neurotransmitters must be removed from the synaptic cleft to discontinue stimulation. 2. There are three methods of removal: a. Some amount of transmitter simply diffuses out of the cleft. b. Enzymes, such as acetylcholinesterase, break down the transmitters. c. Membrane transport proteins active ...
