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:
- Chloride ions will enter postsynaptic membrane
- Potassium ions will leave postsynaptic membrane
- Small hyperpolarization occurs, leading to diminishing graded potential
