An IPSP is A) produced by increased Na⁺ permeability and K⁺ permeability B) produced by increased K⁺ permeability or increased Cl^- permeability C) a hyperpolarization of the presynaptic cell D) produced by increased Na⁺ permeability and K⁺ permeability and a hyperpolarization of the presynaptic cell E) produced by increased K⁺ permeability or increased Cl^- permeability and a hyperpolarization of the presynaptic cell.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An IPSP (Inhibitory Postsynaptic Potential) is typically caused by increased permeability to K+ or Cl-, leading to hyperpolarization of the postsynaptic cell, making it less likely to fire an action potential.
