postsynaptic potential

The resulting change in voltage is called a postsynaptic potential.

The size of the neuron can also affect the inhibitory postsynaptic potential.

There are many applications of inhibitory postsynaptic potentials to the real world.

When multiple types of channels are open within the same time period, their postsynaptic potentials summate.

The action potential received by each dendrite from the synapse is called the postsynaptic potential.

The cumulative sum of the postsynaptic potentials is fed to the soma.

At any given moment, a neuron may be receiving postsynaptic potentials from thousands of other neurons.

These channels influence the amplitude and time-course of postsynaptic potentials as a whole.

A postsynaptic potential is defined as excitatory if it makes the neuron more likely to fire an action potential.

Intracellularly, the electrodes directly record the firing of action, resting and postsynaptic potentials.

Their joint efforts can be thwarted, however, by the counteracting inhibitory postsynaptic potentials.

Postsynaptic potentials begin to be terminated when the neurotransmitter detaches from its receptor.

Postsynaptic potentials are subject to summation, spatially and/or temporally.

The major slow current is the postsynaptic potential (PSP).

An electrical current is generated which changes the postsynaptic membrane potential to create a more negative postsynaptic potential.

Microelectrodes can be used to measure postsynaptic potentials at either excitatory or inhibitory synapses.

In excitatory postsynaptic potentials, an excitatory response is generated.

This neurotransmitter causes an inhibitory postsynaptic potential in the postsynaptic neuron.

Inhibitory postsynaptic potentials have also been studied in the Purkinje cell through dendritic amplification.

This phenomenon is known as an excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP).

The postsynaptic potential can be either positive, the excitatory synapse or negative, inhibitory synapse.

Spatial summation: If a cell is receiving input at two synapses that are near each other, their postsynaptic potentials add together.

Electrical stimuli to the auditory nerve evoke a graded excitatory postsynaptic potential in the octopus cells.

If the receptor is located postsynaptically then when activated the receptor causes Inhibitory postsynaptic potential.

Ionotropic receptors (also known as ligand-gated ion channels) play an important role in inhibitory postsynaptic potentials.
