*A '''selective reuptake inhibitor''' will inhibit the reuptake of a specific [[neurotransmitter]]. An example of this is the class of antidepressants known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or [[SSRIs]]. | *A '''selective reuptake inhibitor''' will inhibit the reuptake of a specific [[neurotransmitter]] with negligible or no effects on the reuptake of other neurotransmitters. An example of this is the class of antidepressants known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or [[SSRIs]]. SSRIs bind to serotonin transporters (SERTs) to inhibit the reuptake of serotonin, increasing extracellular concentrations of the neurotransmitter. | ||
*A '''non-selective reuptake inhibitor''' will inhibit the reuptake of more than one type of [[neurotransmitter]]. An example of this is [[cocaine]], which acts as a serotonin-noradrenaline-dopamine reuptake inhibitor, or [[SNDRI]]. | *A '''non-selective reuptake inhibitor''' will inhibit the reuptake of more than one type of [[neurotransmitter]]. An example of this is [[cocaine]], which acts as a serotonin-noradrenaline-dopamine reuptake inhibitor, or [[SNDRI]]. Ketamine is an example of a weak SNDRI, it is non-selective because it affects the reuptake of multiple neurotransmitters. | ||
