IPSP is the inhibitory postsynaptic potential, a release of neurotransmitter by the inhibitiory synapse which hyperpolarizes postsynaptic membrane temporarily by the flow of charged ions into the postsynaptic cell[1].

Events that occur in postsynaptic membrane:

  1. Chloride ions will enter postsynaptic membrane
  2. Potassium ions will leave postsynaptic membrane
  3. Small hyperpolarization occurs, leading to diminishing graded potential
