Schematic drawing of a 5-HT neuron showing exocytotic release from vesicles (red arrow) and the nonexocytotic release described by Mlinar et al. (2015) (blue arrow). Reuptake of 5-HT through SERT is depicted with a green arrow. SSRIs block SERT, thus inhibiting reuptake of 5-HT. Monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzyme is located in the external mitochondrial wall.
