What is the fate of neurotransmitters once they have performed their function? In other words I want to know how synaptic nerve transmission is ended (3-4 fates of neurotransmitters).

A few things happen once neurotransmitters bind to their respective receptors and begin biochemical processes in the next neuron's dendrite.
They can be enzymatically degraded, they can diffuse away from the synaptic gap, and they can undergo reuptake by the neuron they were released from, usually to be recycled.
