Escitalopram, a selective serotonin<unk>  (SSRI) used as an antidepressant. A<unk>  (RI) is a type of drug known as a<unk>  modulator that inhibits the plasmalemmal transporter-mediated<unk>  of a neurotransmitter from the synapse into the pre-synaptic neuron. This leads to an increase in extracellular concentrations of the neurotransmitter and an increase in neurotransmission. Various drugs exert their psychological and physiological effects through<unk>  inhibition, including many antidepressants and psychostimulants. Most known<unk> s affect the monoamine neurotransmitters serotonin, norepinephrine (and epinephrine), and dopamine. However, there are also a number of pharmaceuticals and research chemicals that act as<unk> s for other neurotransmitters such as glutamate, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glycine, adenosine, choline (the precursor of acetylcholine), and the endocannabinoids, among others.
