IPSP is the inhibitory postsynaptic potential, which hyperpolarizes postsynaptic membrane.
- the neurotransmitter is released by inhibitory synapse
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
