IPSP is the inhibitory postsynaptic potential, which hyperpolarizes postsynaptic membrane [1].
- the neurotransmitter is released by inhibitory synapse
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
